Cyberattackers gained access to the system's servers, including those processing credit card informa- tion for cafeteria sales, and others containing data from health plan members and beneficiaries — more than 3.7 million patients were affected overall. In a recent interview with Forbes, Jeff Williams, chief technology officer and cofounder of Contrast Security, shared what rating he would give Banner if the health- care industry evaluated organizations on how they han- dled themselves during and after a data breach. Taking into consideration factors like the timeline of the breach, tone of the disclosure, scope of information sto- len, number of individuals affected, cause, efforts to pick up the pieces and where the blame was placed, Mr. Wil- liams graded Banner's performance during the course of the breach and gave the system a barely passing grade. "Overall I give them a C-/D+," Mr. Williams told Forbes in an emailed statement. "There is still an awful lot of miss- ing information. What is there isn't bad, but we only have a tiny piece of the story of this breach. And they don't seem too sorry." Banner is in the process of notifying anyone who could potentially be impacted by the breach, and is offering free identity theft and credit monitoring services. n
