A Houston genetics testing laboratory is notifying patients and staff about a cyberattack that exposed their personal and medical information.<\/p>\n

Baylor Genetics says<\/a> the breach occurred in a limited portion of its IT environment. An HHS\u00a0filing lists 2,810,878 people affected.<\/p>\n

The company detected suspicious activity on or around June 15th and later confirmed unauthorized access between June 11th and June 17th.<\/p>\n

Affected data includes names, dates of birth, laboratory test results, medical testing details and in limited cases health insurance information or Social Security numbers for patients.<\/p>\n

Certain current and former employees also had Social Security numbers, government identification and financial account data exposed.<\/p>\n

The firm completed its review around July 30th and has notified affected individuals while reporting the incident to regulators.<\/p>\n

Baylor Genetics states it has enhanced security controls and is offering identity protection resources.<\/p>\n

The company says it has no evidence of misuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, Baylor Genetics is not aware of any confirmed identity theft, fraud, or misuse of personal information related to this incident.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLaboratory operations continued without interruption throughout the investigation, and there was no impact on Baylor Genetics\u2019 ability to provide genetic testing services.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
