In addition to this, due to understaffed IT departments and lack of cybersecurity awareness, weaknesses are developed that the hackers exploit. Cyberattacks can disrupt the critical delivery of health services, which might potentially delay diagnoses and treatment. In some scenarios, even life-saving equipment might be brought to a complete halt, thereby risking the patients.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Precaution_You_Can_Take\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">What Precaution You Can Take?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">At this time we do not have the details of what information was actually exposed, but here are a few ways you can help protect yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Stay Informed:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Keep on monitoring your email and the Kaiser Permanente website for updates regarding the data breach.
