Hackers, provider says, did not obtain bank or credit card data or Social Security numbers
Sharp HealthCare, San Diego’s largest health provider, announced Monday that it has begun notifying 62,777 of its patients that some of their personal information was compromised during a hacking attack on the computers that run its website, sharp.com.
“The information contained in the file was limited to patient names, internal Sharp identification numbers, and/or invoice numbers, payment amounts and the names of the Sharp entities receiving payment.”Thus far, the provider’s statement says, there is no indication that any stolen information has been used for nefarious purposes.
Only patients who paid a bill using the provider’s online bill payment service between Aug. 12, 2021, and Jan. 12 were affected. The health provider asks its patients to review previous statements they have received from their health providers and, if they see charges for services they did not receive, to contact Sharp immediately.
