St. Luke’s Medical Center is investigating a cybersecurity incident it detected on its mobile application. The hospital says it is looking into what happened after it identified the issue on the app, which is connected to its wider hospital network.
The reports also say the National Privacy Commission (NPC) is involved. One outlet states the NPC received a personal data breach notification from St. Luke’s on Oct. 30 and is reviewing the incident. St. Luke’s says a third-party service provider operated the application, and it has since taken the app offline, isolated and secured it. Across the coverage, the emphasis differs between the hospital’s general investigation and the privacy regulator’s review of potential personal information exposure.
