Centura Health released updated information Friday about a data breach that impacted some of the network’s hospitals.
Longmont United Hospital was not among those impacted by the ransomware attack, said Lindsay Radford, spokesperson for Centura Health.
“CommonSpirit Health's privacy breach impacted less than 500 Centura patients at three of Centura Health’s hospitals in Southern Colorado,” Radford said in a statement released Friday. “Many of these patients were seen at the facilities more than five years ago.”
Centura is partnered with CommonSpirit Health, which owns Catholic hospitals in the network. Centura’s other 13 Colorado hospitals were not impacted by the data breach, and the network's information technology systems were also not impacted, Radford said.
The ransomware attack occurred sometime between Sept. 16 and Oct. 13, but CommonSpirit Health wasn’t able to confirm until Feb. 21 which information was accessed, according to a public notice posted by the network.
The data that was exposed includes contact information, health insurance details and information about diagnosis and treatments, according to the notice. Some Social Security numbers were also released, CommonSpirit said.
Letters will be sent to all those who were impacted, according to the health network.
CommonSpirit has partnered with the financial advisory firm Kroll to manage a call center that will help those impacted by the data breach — the center’s phone number is 1-866-869-0312.
