LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- UofL Health is checking to see if any of its medical records have been compromised. The health care company said a third-party company that holds data for it was hacked. UofL Health said its own systems are not affected. The issue involves a program that transfers records from one medical office to another.
UofL Health issued a statement:
"Recently, the United States government confirmed that multiple federal agencies had been affected by cyberattacks which exploited a security vulnerability in a popular file transfer tool called MOVEit. Unfortunately, a small number of UofL Health medical practices used this software to transfer files to third party vendors.
Upon learning of this event, UofL Health immediately took action and is now working with a forensic IT agency to determine the scope of the matter.
The security of normal operations at UofL Health hospitals, medical centers, and physician offices has not been jeopardized."
As of July 14th, UofL Health says there is new information to release.
