Patients who may have been affected were notified last month. In a letter dated Aug. 23, the hospital system says the breach was discovered in June after "unusual activity" surrounding employee email accounts was detected. Patient names, addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance information and "limited" medical information may have been accessed as part of the data breach, Conway Regional Health System said in a statement Wednesday. The hospital system said it had not found any incidents where the information was misused. It did not say how many patients were affected. The hospital system said it's reviewing information security policies and procedures to minimize the risk of another data breach. Attorney General Leslie Rutledge advises any consumers who are concerned that their personal information was breached to call the office at (800)482-8982 or visit ArkansasAG.gov. _______________________________________________ BreachExchange mailing list sponsored by Risk Based Security BreachExchange () lists riskbasedsecurity com If you wish to Edit your membership or Unsubscribe you can do so at the following link: https://lists.riskbasedsecurity.com/listinfo/breachexchange
