Louisiana State University Data Breach (2020)

In 2013, billing services for Moss Memorial were provided by Louisiana State University, Health Care Services Division (“LSU HCSD”). As a result, LSU HCSD has in its files certain information related to the care of Moss Memorial patients. On December 10, 2020, LSU HCSD notified Lake Charles Memorial that a cyber intruder had accessed LSU HCSD’s e-mail system. The intruder accessed a mailbox that contained approximately 185,000 LSU HCSD e‑mails. One of those e-mails included a spreadsheet attachment that contained limited information about approximately 3,800 Moss Memorial patients. This occurred on September 15, 2020.
