287,652 South Denver Cardiology Associates patients notified of breach
South Denver Cardiology Associates (SDCA) recently disclosed that it began the new year with a data security breach that they first detected on January 4.
Initiating their incident response plan, their investigation determined that an unauthorized person accessed their network between January 2, 2022 and January 5, 2022. During that time, certain files stored on the system were accessed. Those files contained protected health information of patients such as names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and/or drivers’ license numbers, patient account numbers, health insurance information, and clinical information, such as physician names, dates, and types of service, and diagnoses.
In a notice on their website, the practice notes that there was no impact to the contents of patient medical records and no unauthorized access to the patient portal.
According to the notice, there was no indication at this time of any misuse of the information, but patients were notified of the incident and offered monitoring and identity restoration services through IDX. A total of 287,652 patients were notified.
The notice did not explain whether the files were from current patients or current and former patients.
Nothing in the notice or the companion IDX FAQ mentions whether there was any encryption of files and/or any ransom demand. An inquiry sent to IDX seeking clarification on those questions did not receive any reply by publication time.
I anticipated a much larger increase. After all, cyber attacks are much cheaper than a tank.

Dunno about you, but we're seeing an 800% increase in cyberattacks, says one MSP
Revenge and inflation are key drivers behind an 800 percent increase in cyberattacks seen by a managed services provider since the days before the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine last month, according to the company's top executive.
The attacks are coming not only from groups inside of Russia but also from within the region as well from Russia allies like North Korea and Iran, historically sources of global cyber-threats, Emil Sayegh, president and CEO of Ntirety, an MSP that focuses on security, told The Register.

U.S. clears way for truly driverless vehicles without steering wheels
Federal vehicle safety regulators have cleared the way for the production and deployment of driverless vehicles that do not include manual controls such as steering wheels or pedals.
… The 155-page, “first-of-its-kind” ruling allows companies to build and deploy autonomous vehicles without manual controls as long as they meet other safety regulations. Current self-driving cars, operating in small numbers in the U.S. today, typically include manual controls for backup safety drivers and to meet federal safety standards.
