A cyberattack on a foreign software company includes a database violation that may have compromised non-public information, according to a formula from a North Carolina hospital.
Atrium Health posted an attack message on its website, saying certain information, adding a person’s name, date of birth and doctor’s name, which was accessed when cybercriminals attacked Blackbaud, one of its providers, the Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday.
According to the hospital system, no medical records or data on medications or check effects were compromised and no credit card or bank account data was stolen.
Blackbaud, which supplies donor control software to many establishments around the world, notified Atrium on July 16 of the attack on its systems, according to Atrium’s letter to patients. The paper said it got one of the letters on Saturday.
In a message to the Observer, Atrium said: “There are still many unanswered questions and we are diligently looking for answers and solutions. Like thousands of other Blackbaud customers, we are heavily involved this time and compare our next steps carefully. “
It is not known how many other people in the Atrium formula would possibly be affected.
