xHealth Data Breach Affects 118,000 Individuals
zHealth, a software company that provides practice management and electronic health records tools to medical practices, has disclosed a data breach affecting approximately 118,000 people.
Why this matters: Health software companies sit behind thousands of medical practices at once. A breach at one vendor can expose patients across many clinics who had no idea their records were stored there. This is the core problem with how healthcare data works: patients give information to a doctor, but the risk lives with a software company they have never heard of. When that company gets breached, 118,000 people find out after the fact.
