Heart Monitor Firm Notifying at Least 370,000 Patients of Hack

Cardiac monitor manufacturer iRhythm is notifying at least 370,000 patients of a data breach involving sensitive health information and medical device details. The unauthorized access was first disclosed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in June, with some reports suggesting millions of individuals may be affected.

Why it matters: Patients using iRhythm devices should verify whether their data was included in the breach and monitor for identity theft and fraudulent use of their health information, while healthcare providers need to assess exposure and implement enhanced monitoring protocols.
