Medical University of South Carolina Data Breach (2013)

MUSC says it has had its financial records hacked and credit card information for some 7,000 people has been compromised, according to area reports. At some point between June 30 and August 21, the records of Blackhawk Consulting Group were compromised and hackers got the credit card information for patients who used their credit cards to paid medical bills, reports say. However, individuals who paid with a credit card in person and individuals who paid an MUSC bill by check or cash are not affected, according to the MUSC website.
