Hello LHIT! Ahead of our upcoming meeting to discuss cybersecurity, EHRs, and AI, I wanted to flag a news article from this week about a data breach in Maine.
Some highlights from the article:
- 1.3 million people were impacted by the breach.
- Related to the MOVEit mass hack, which is one of the largest hacking incidents of the year.
- Several other state governments - including Colorado, Oregon, and Louisiana - have been impacted by MOVEit.
