 Better Late than Never: Sometime in 2017, a hacker got into Gore Medical Management's information systems and stole files containing PHI of 79,000 patients.  They didn't find out until November 2020, when the FBI notified them it found the files on an unrelated computer.  2 bit of good news, one bit of bad news: First, Gore had already discovered the technical issue and corrected it (apparently just didn't know files had been taken).  Second, the information did not contain any clinical information.  However, it did contain social security numbers.
