These are notes from a Toastmaster’s meeting.

– In 2016, John went out to check his mailbox. Noticed a bill but didn’t know what it was. Bill was for $30,000. Was flabbergasted. Called accounts payable and verified his info. According to their records, he had surgery for $30,000. How could this have happened? Only a number of possible ways this could have happened. He was a victim of medical identity theft.
– Not a matter of if, but of when you discover the breach. Predator lurking in your environment waiting to pounce.
– Health care is one of the prevalent organizations hit with phishing and cyber-attacks.
– Health care records go for $100 on the dark web. Medical records have a full identity.
– 1.4 million patient records breached in Unity Point Health phishing attach.
– Two attacks imperil the Augusta university medical center.
– Nine times more medical records breached in 2016.
