The statistics regarding the cyberattack that affected healthcare provider Ascension in May have been released.  An estimated 5.6 million people had their personal information exposed, including sensitive data like social security numbers, credit card numbers, and what kind of procedures they had done.  There’s no clear information about how many Kansas residents had their information exposed or stolen, Ascension operates several hospitals, outpatient clinics, and senior care facilities in the state.  Letters regarding the information theft started going out last week offering two years of free credit monitoring for those exposed.
