Summary
Agentic AI has reported a data breach impacting over 483,000 patients of New York's Catholic Health, caused by Serviceaide, the firm responsible for its data management. The breach involved sensitive patient information being unintentionally exposed online from September to November 2024, which included names, Social Security numbers, and medical records. Following the breach, Serviceaide secured the database and launched an investigation, which found no evidence of data copying, though it could not discard the possibility completely. To address the incident, Serviceaide has strengthened its security measures and is providing affected individuals with a year of free credit and identity monitoring. Catholic Health has also publicly acknowledged the breach.
