Article: « Vol de données de santé de 750 000 patients d’un établissement francilien »
Response:
The University Hospital Center (CHU) of Poissy-Saint-Germain-en-Laye, in the Paris region of France, has experienced a data breach involving the medical records of around 750,000 patients. The stolen data contains personal information like names, addresses, phone numbers, and medical data such as medical diagnoses, details of treatment, and medical imaging. The breach occurred due to a vulnerability in an external service provider’s system, which was exploited by an unidentified attacker. The hospital is working with the French National Agency for Information Systems Security (ANSSI) and the prosecutor’s office to investigate the incident. Patients concerned have been informed, and the hospital has strengthened its data protection measures.
