Eskenazi Health experienced a patient data breach after a phishing attack on an employee's cloud-based work account, potentially exposing sensitive patient information including medical and Social Security data. The breach lasted from June 3 to July 27 and the health system has since secured the account, enhanced safeguards, and is providing identity protection services to affected individuals.
