AUGUSTA (AP) — MaineGeneral Health officials are warning employees and patients that their personal information may have been compromised in a cyber-attack launched on the health care network last month.
CEO Chuck Hays told The Kennebec Journal (http://bit.ly/1M2z9rn ) that the breach includes birth dates, emergency contact names, addresses and telephone numbers for patients referred for radiology services since June 2009.
Also hacked were the names, addresses and telephone numbers for potential financial donors and certain employees listed on an old database.
Hays says newer employees were likely unaffected.
The FBI notified MaineGeneral of the attack on Nov. 13 after investigators detected data on an external website not accessible by the public.
Hays says the data stolen doesn’t include social security numbers, patient names, insurance information, health records or financial accounts.
