RICHLAND -- Kadlec Regional Medical Center officials announced Wednesday 
that patients are being notified that one of the hospital's computer 
servers containing brain scan and other patient studies was hacked in 
September.

Files housed on the server included information with a patient's name, 
birth date, age, gender, medical record number and doctor's name, but 
did not include any patient financial information, address, Social 
Security number or insurance data.

Kadlec officials first discovered the unauthorized access during routine 
monitoring of computer network backups Nov. 11, according to a news 
release.

Kadlec immediately removed the server from service and hired a national 
company that specializes in computer security to investigate the cause 
of the incident and scope of the breach.
