(Iowa City, IA) -- A massive data breach has led to at least eight class-action lawsuits filed against the University of Iowa Health Care and UI Community HomeCare.
An estimated 211,000 patients were notified in late August that their personal information including social security numbers, birth dates, and insurance data was likely compromised in a data breach.
The University of Iowa is not responding directly to the lawsuits, other than to say there is currently no indication that the data accessed has been misused.
