- � Hospital Hacked! Community Health Systems Says Personal Data
- Stolen in Cyber Attack, UPDATE: 4.5 Million Records Stolen ::
- US hospital operator Community Health Systems Inc said on Monday
- personal data, including patient names and addresses, of about 4.5
- million people were stolen by hackers from its computer network,
- likely in April and June.
- The company said the data, considered protected under the Health
- Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, included patient names,
- addresses, birth dates, telephone numbers and Social Security numbers.
- It did not include patient credit card or medical information (bull),
- Community Health Systems said in a regulatory filing.
- It said the security breach had affected about 4.5 million people who
- were referred for or received services from doctors affiliated with
- the hospital group in the last five years.
- The FBI warned healthcare providers in April that their cybersecurity
- systems were lax compared to other sectors, making them vulnerable to
- hackers looking for details that could be used to access bank accounts
- or obtain prescriptions, Reuters previously reported.
- The company said it and its security contractor, FireEye Inc unit
- Mandiant, believed the attackers originated from China. They did not
- provide further information about why they believed this was the case.
- They said they used malware and other technology to copy and transfer
- this data and information from its system.
- Community Health, which is one of the largest hospital operators in the
- country with 206 hospitals in 29 states, said it was working with federal
- law enforcement authorities in connection with their investigation into
- the attack. It said federal authorities said these attacks are typically
- aimed at gathering intellectual property, such as medical device and
- equipment development data.
- It said that prior to filing the regulatory document, it had eradicated
- the malware from its systems and finalized the implementation of remediation
- efforts. It is notifying patients and regulatory agencies as required by
- law, it said.
- It also said it is insured against such losses and does not at this time
- expect a material adverse effect on financial results.

- � 400 Connecticut Health-Exchange Enrollees� Information
- May Be Compromised ::
- The personal information of around 400 health-exchange
- enrollees may be compromised, according to a statement
- issued today by Access Health CT CEO Kevin Counihan.
- The statement notes that a backpack was recovered in
- Hartford that held �four notepads with personal information
- for approximately 400 individuals. The backpack also
- contained Access Health CT paperwork and it appears as
- though some of that personal information may be associated
- with Access Health CT accounts. It is still unclear where
- the backpack came from, and we are working [with] the
- Hartford Police Department to investigate, and contact
- the individuals whose information may be compromised.
- � Let me be clear: we are sorry this happened. This is
- a very serious situation and we will hold the person or
- persons who are responsible to account.�
- Kathleen Tallarita, the government and public affairs
- outreach manager for Access Health CT, told National
- Review Online by phone that the health exchange does
- not know yet whether identity theft has occurred, but
- �we�re diligently looking into what�s happened.�
- The Connecticut health exchange conducts a background
- check on all navigators. While prior arrests or convictions
- do not necessarily disqualify an applicant from becoming a
- navigator, the health exchange has a policy against
- approving anyone who has falsified their criminal-history
- information or has committed a serious felony like fraud
- or larceny.
- According to records obtained by NRO in January, 21
- prospective navigators were flagged after their background
- check. Though most were dropped from the program, one was
- approved despite a class-B felony conviction 19 years
- earlier, and three were approved despite misdemeanors
- within the last decade. None of these four flagged
- navigators had convictions since, according to the
- records.

- � Federal Biosurveillance Plan Seeking Direct Access to
- Americans� Private Medical Records and Authority for
- �Nonpharmaceutical Interventions� �
- The federal government is piecing together a national
- �biosurveillance� system that will give bureaucrats
- near real-time access to Americans� private medical
- information in the name of �national security.�
- These bureaucracies are noted within the document below.
- PHEMCE (Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures
- Enterprise), DHS (Department of Homeland Security), DoD
- (Department of Defense), USDA (Department of Agriculture),
- VA (Department of Veterans� Affairs), HHS (Department of
- Health and Human Services), ASPR (Assistant Secretary for
- Prepardness and Response), BARDA (Biomedical Advanced
- Research & Development Authority), CDC (Center for Disease
- and Control), FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and NIH
- (National Institutes of Health).
- �Nonpharmaceutical Intervention� noted,
- �The term countermeasures refers to medical countermeasures
- (MCMs) and nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that may
- be used to limit the adverse health impacts of incidents.
- MCMs include vaccines, antimicrobials, diagnostics, and
- ventilators, while NPIs include personal interventions,
- such as hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette, as well as
- community-level interventions for social distancing, such
- as school closures and promoting telework.�
- �Effective implementation of NPIs requires planning and
- preparation to identify effective interventions, the
- situations in which they should be deployed, and methods
- for monitoring their effects. � � More research is needed
- to inform decisions regarding which interventions are most
- effective under specific circumstances; to identify, understand,
- and plan to mitigate the potential secondary effects of the
- interventions; and to determine their feasibility.�
- (As most people now know, vaccines often contain mercury and
- other toxic chemicals and in some cases live viruses (yes, live)
- have been identified ie GlaxoSmithKline�s flu vaccines. Those
- vaccines are far more dangerous than risk of catching disease.

- Healthcare dot gov has a new problem. The Obama

- of Vladimir Putin, is a communist dictatorship
- that is known for global theft operations through
- cyber attacks. Our intelligence agencies didn�t
- even find out until they heard a radio show in
- Belarus.
- The Obama regime used developers with ties to
- Belarus in the making of the healthcare network
- causing concern at US intelligence agencies,
- who are urging the Administration to scan the
- sites for malicious software.
- Millions of Americans and more than 300 medial
- facilities and providers might have had their

- Belarus is closely allied with Russia and they
- are suspected of inserting malicious code that
- could be used for cyber attacks.
- Last year, Belarus, a repressive dictatorship,
- diverted massive amounts of US traffic to Belarus.
- They stole $1.8M from 20,000 people across the

- in the US.

- � MEDICAL DICTATORSHIP ; Here Comes
- Obamacare Big Brother Database �
- Would you trust thousands of low-level
- Federal bureaucrats and contractors
- with one-touch access to your private
- financial and medical information?
- Under Obamacare you won�t have any
- choice.
- As the Obamacare train-wreck begins
- to gather steam, there is increasing
- concern in Congress over something
- called the Federal Data Services Hub.
- The Data Hub is a comprehensive
- database of personal information
- being established by the Department
- of Health and Human Services (HHS)
- to implement the federally facilitated
- health insurance exchanges. The
- purpose of the Data Hub, according
- to a June 2013 Government Accountability
- Office (GAO) report, is to provide
- �electronic, near real-time access
- to federal data� and �access to state
- and third party data sources needed
- to verify consumer-eligibility
- information.� In these days of secret
- domestic surveillance by the intelligence
- community, rogue IRS officials and state
- tax agencies using private information
- for political purposes, and police
- electronically logging every license
- plate that passes by, the idea of the
- centralized Data Hub is making lawmakers
- and citizens nervous.
