Mt. Baker Imaging and Northwest Radiologists in Bellingham, Washington, reported a network disruption on January 25, leading to a data security incident. Following the breach, they engaged forensic specialists and are assessing the extent of the compromise, which may include sensitive patient data such as Social Security numbers and birth dates. In response to the incident, the practice has implemented additional security measures. However, some commentators argue that claims of cooperation with the FBI can be misleading, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding the incident's impact on affected individuals.
"We are currently reviewing the types of information potentially impacted by this event," the message said. "However, Northwest/MBI has confirmed that a limited amount of protected health information may have been impacted in connection with this event."
Claims of victims "working with" the FBI are somewhat misleading. No entity has to work with the FBI. They do not even have to report the cyberattack to the FBI.
