Healthcare outages and third-party data exposure intensify

Ransomware at AnMed and JPS disrupted EHR availability and patient care, while Paylogix, OpenLoop, DentaQuest, Oracle Health, SickKids, L.A. Care and CareCloud illustrate systemic third-party and health-data exposure. A reported CareCloud AWS compromise may affect more than 3.75 million people and potentially expose SSNs, medical, financial and government-ID data, but the exact scope remains unresolved. A local VA advisory involving potentially unencrypted PHI reported no evidence of compromise.
