New York Pediatric Health Network and IT Vendor To Pay Over $2,600,000 After Hackers Steal Records of 887,000 People

A New York pediatric health network and its IT vendor must pay millions of dollars after hackers stole the private records of hundreds of thousands of people. Boston Children’s Health Physicians (BCHP) and XTIUM failed to protect patient data taken in an August 2024 breach of the IT firm’s systems, say New York Attorney General Letitia James and Connecticut Attorney General William Tong. The breach gave hackers access to 18 XTIUM client networks, including BCHP’s. The hackers stole the records of about 825,000 New York residents and 62,871 Connecticut residents from BCHP’s network, including the Social Security and driver’s license numbers of more than 170,000 New Yorkers.
