Data of 360,000 people exposed in iRhythm breach

iRhythm, known for its Zio Patch cardiac monitors, reported that at least 360,000 patients had personal information stolen in a June cyberattack that targeted third-party business systems. The breach involved names, contact details, patient account and device numbers, insurance data, and dates of service or birth. iRhythm said no medical devices, core systems, or operations were affected, and there is no evidence so far of identity theft resulting from the breach.

Why it mattersMedical device firms hold sensitive health data, making them a frequent target for cybercriminals. Large-scale breaches such as this threaten patient privacy and increase concerns about third parties handling protected health information.
