Personal data of around 1.4 million people who took Covid-19 tests in the Paris region in the middle of 2020 was stolen, hospital officials in the French capital disclosed on Wednesday.
Hospital officials said they filed a complaint with the Paris prosecutor’s office on Wednesday after confirming on September 12 that such a cyber attack took place over the summer.
Stolen were the identities, social security numbers and contact details of people tested as well as the identities and contact details of health professionals who dealt with them, along with the test results, the hospital organization said. But no other health information was stolen, they said.
