2024 was a nightmare year for healthcare institutions and patients in the U.S. A total of 184,111,469 records were breached, 53% of the 2024 population.

The healthcare sector faced unprecedented challenges in cybersecurity, with attacks becoming more frequent, sophisticated and damaging than ever before.

Medical identity theft directly affects patients' health and safety.

The reality of healthcare data breaches is daunting, but it’s not entirely out of your control.

Set your social media to private, use a VPN and clean up unused apps.

Remember, the less information you leave out there, the harder it is for bad actors to exploit it.
