Company officials from Yale New Haven Health are warning patients that their information has been compromised in an April cyber security incident from one of their third-party vendors. This news comes weeks after the medical network was victimized by a ransomware attack.

While the organization is stating that no patient medical records were accessed, it has confirmed that data containing names, addresses, emails, Social Security numbers, and other information were compromised during the incident. A small number of clients may have also had financial information stolen.  

The hospital is notifying those that have had their information exposed via mail and also offering complimentary credit monitoring services to anyone who had their financial information exposed. Officials provided a statement stating, “Yale New Haven Health truly regrets any inconvenience this has caused. As a premier healthcare provider, we strive to demonstrate respect for patients and our community and to always safeguard that information."
