Still in the dark: A "500 marker" is updated, but too many still aren't. Is HHS doing anything about this??

In March 2024, LockBit3.0 added the Redwood Coast Regional Center to its leak site, stating that 24,937 patients may have had their protected health information compromised.

RCRC notified HHS about a data breach affecting 500 patients, later increasing that number to 24,937, reflecting a significant delay in protecting patient interests.

Protenus's 2024 Breach Barometer highlighted that over 50 reports were submitted to HHS in 2023 with underspecified patient numbers, showcasing rampant reporting issues.

As of September 12, 2024, many patients remain unaware of breaches involving their protected health information, raising concerns over potential fraudulent activities.
