Description
A Washington state healthcare organization said sensitive employee information was impacted after one of its partners was the subject of a ransomware attack in June.
Kaye-Smith, a business solutions company, confirmed it was the subject of a ransomware attack involving several of its partners, including MultiCare. The health system said it was informed that the breach included its employees’ information on Sept. 30.
Kaye-Smith prints W-2 and 1099 forms for the hospital system, according to MullitCare.
The names, addresses and social security numbers of some current and former MultiCare employees were included in the data breach.
Kaye-Smith said it took steps over the summer to secure the data. It said it has not seen any evidence suggesting the data was or will be made public.
Employees that were affected can expect a letter from Kaye-Smith notifying their information was compromised.
