AUSTIN (KXAN) — Social security numbers, credit card information and more were impacted by a March data breach involving Ascension Seton’s legacy websites, according to a news release from Ascension Texas.
On March 2, the agency was alerted to a security event involving Ascension Seton’s legacy websites, Seton.net and DellChildrens.net, which is managed by the third-party vendor Vertex, the release said.
Ascension said it worked closely with Vertex to investigate, as well as understand what information was affected, the release said. Vertex notified law enforcement, the release said.
The agency said demographic information, such as name, address, email address, phone number, insurance information, social security number (or tax identification number), as well as other clinical information would have been affected if the information was provided to the agency by people using the legacy websites, Seton.net and DellChildrens.net.
