Hospital network hacked, 4.5 million records stolen - Aug. 18, 2014

Hospital network hacked, 4.5 million records stolen - Aug. 18, 2014: Community Health Systems, which operates 206 hospitals across the United States, announced on Monday that hackers recently broke into its computers and stole data on 4.5 million patients.

Hackers have gained access to their names, Social Security numbers, physical addresses, birthdays and telephone numbers.

Anyone who received treatment from a physician's office tied to a network-owned hospital in the last five years -- or was merely referred there by an outside doctor -- is affected.
