Resource Center of Dallas Notifies 12,500 Patients About Cyber Incident
Resource Center of Dallas has notified approximately 12,500 patients that their information was exposed in a cyber incident, joining several other healthcare organizations — including Kern Psychiatric Health and Wellness Center and The Asthma Center — in recently disclosing breaches.
Why this matters: Healthcare breaches hit differently. These are not loyalty card points or email addresses. Patients at a psychiatric center or a specialized clinic shared some of the most sensitive details a person can share. They had no real choice in the matter. When that data walks out the door, the people affected cannot un-disclose their mental health history or their diagnosis. The organizations collecting this information carry a serious duty of care, and breach disclosures like these are the moment accountability becomes visible.
