Reported by helpnetsecurity.com
In 2016 healthcare breaches hit an all-time high (328), surpassing the previous record set in 2015 (268), according to Bitglass.
Records of approximately 16.6 million Americans were exposed as a result of hacks, lost or stolen devices, unauthorized disclosure and more. Good news, however, is that the overall number of compromised records has declined for the second year in a row and early indications suggest that those numbers will continue to decline in 2017.
