Tenet Health Security Breach

Data breaches, no matter how minor, are problematic because they expose sensitive, personal information to the public. Unfortunately, our personal data is profitable, so unethical individuals will attempt to breach an organization's databases to steal everything they can. They do this by exploiting vulnerable portions of their network security, which is essentially a firewall that permits certain individuals from going in and out. The hackers find a weak point, or they manage to gain login credentials from someone in the organization, allowing them access to information that only a few people are allowed to see. We’re still in the early stages of Tenet Health’s data breach, so we know little about how or why these hackers did what they did, but the consequences are all the same. 

Now, former and current patients are in jeopardy of identity theft, fraud, and other financial crimes, all because Tenet Health failed to protect their data properly. To make matters worse, the damage might not occur immediately. Stolen information stays online for years, and it can take some time for someone to stumble upon it and use it for malicious purposes. Anyone who was a patient of Tenet Health or is currently should speak with their financial institutions and monitor their bank statements for evidence of fraudulent activity to protect themselves. If you find that you are a victim of financial crimes, your next call should be to a lawyer, as they have the knowledge and experience to help you mitigate the consequences.

Some people might choose to forgo legal assistance because the damage has already been done, but these individuals are turning down help that could be the difference between paying for the damage from your own pocket or not. An attorney can help advise you on different steps, such as canceling credit cards, changing login credentials, and other proactive strategies that can keep you safe from harm. They’ll be an asset in your back pocket, doing everything in their power to protect you and your assets, and help you set up new methods of staying safe in the future.
