An Alberta, Canada-based medical group has come under fire this week after it announced that the health records of some 620,000 patients have been compromised in a data breach reportedly undisclosed for months.
Medicentres Family Health Care Clinics, a 27-clinic medical group in Western Canada, failed to notify federal officials until Jan. 22, some four months after an unencrypted clinic laptop was stolen from one of the clinic’s IT consultants.
