Intermountain Healthcare-owned Saltzer Health is informing patients that their personal information might have been compromised after an unauthorized party gained access to an employee email account.
The organization, which operates 12 clinics and urgent care facilities in Boise, Caldwell, Meridian, and Nampa, Idaho, said the attackers had access to the employee email account between May 25 and June 1, 2021.
An investigation into the incident revealed that the email account did contain personal information that was potentially compromised during the period of unauthorized access, the company said in a statement.
Potentially affected information includes names and contact information, driver’s license numbers and state identification numbers, and, in some cases, Social Security numbers and financial account details.
Medical information affected by the unauthorized access includes diagnosis, medical history, treatment details, prescription medication information, and physician information, along with health insurance information.
