MYDR , a major provider of Electronic Medical Records in Poland, is currently investigating a significant security breach. Hackers claim to have accessed data pertaining to over 18 million individuals, including 18,814,422 unique PESEL numbers linked to patient data from various Polish clinics. MyDr facilitates approximately 3 million visits and issues about 2.7 million prescriptions monthly but does not disclose user numbers in healthcare facilities.
An initial report regarding the breach was taken seriously, prompting direct contact with the informant and notification to authorities. The claim is under investigation amidst concerns about the handling of sensitive health data.
