---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: InfoSec News <alerts () infosecnews org> http://www.clinical-innovation.com/index.php?option=com_articles&view=article&id=35162 By Beth Walsh Clinical-Innovation.com September 16, 2012 The Utah Health Exchange, a state insurance exchange whose development started several years before the healthcare reform law mandated exchanges, was recently hacked, with words garbled, headlines blurred and some pages inaccessible. The Salt Lake Tribune reported on the hacking and said the site was down for about 10 days. Protected health information is on a separate secure site and was not affected. The state's Department of Technology services maintains the breached site and also was responsible for the comprehensive hacking of Medicaid data in March. Protected health information was compromised for 780,000 individuals, including up to 280,000 Social Security numbers.
