Hospital operator Community Health Systems said a cyberattack took information on around 4.5 million patients from its computer network earlier this year.
The Franklin, Tennessee, company said Monday that no medical or credit card records were taken in the attack, which may have happened in April and June. But Community said the attack did bypass its security systems to take patient names, addresses, birth dates, and phone and Social Security numbers.
