Melissa in the Morning: CT Health Data Breaches

A new report puts Connecticut at the top of the list as the top state for health data breaches to occur. A new study done by QR Code Generator analyzed each state’s number of health data breaches reported between 2009 and 2024 to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Connecticut had the highest rates of health data breaches, with 1.5 breaches per 100 health firms, 71% above the national average. We asked our cybersecurity expert, Dr. Vahid Behzadan, about the findings and what we can do to turn the trends around.
