Electronic health records (EHRs) are the most valuable type of stolen personal data, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Cybersecurity Coordination Center in a recent threat brief. EHRs contain a wealth of protected health information that can include names, birth dates, social security numbers, addresses, account numbers, email addresses and more — information that can be used to open credit cards or obtain fraudulent loans. HHS estimates that about 40 million patient records were compromised in 2021.
