Notice of Security Breach: Tillamook Chiropractic Clinic

Posted on October 4, 2018 by Dissent

On August 3rd, 2018, during an internal security audit, it was discovered that a major computer network breach had occurred at the offices of Tillamook Chiropractic Clinic. On May 24, 2016, malware was installed on the primary insurance billing system, which hackers then used as a staging area to collect patient records, including patient full name, any diagnoses, lab results, medications, home address(es), work address(es), phone number(s), driver’s license, date of birth, social security numbers (for Medicare patients only), insurance billing information, bank routing numbers & account numbers, as well as employee payroll data. Copies of 4,058 patient records are believed to have been stolen.

Notably, the breach occurred despite antivirus, anti-malware, and firewall protection, and despite having the latest version of operating systems with all patches installed, as well as technical support.

Remediation and Repair Efforts

The unauthorized access was terminated on August 3rd, 2018, immediately after discovery. Additionally, the computer security systems of Tillamook Chiropractic Clinic have been significantly modernized and upgraded, the policies have been updated, and notifications are being issued to individual patients as well as credit reporting agencies. Tillamook Chiropractic Clinic encourages each of its patients to actively monitor their credit reports and bank accounts for signs of fraud or identity theft.

    How do you have “…antivirus, anti-malware, and firewall protection, and despite having the latest version of operating systems with all patches installed…” and then “…have been significantly modernized and upgraded, the policies have been updated…” on your systems? The former seems like it would preclude the latter.
