Heartbleed To Blame For Community Health Systems Breach

An anonymous reader writes: The Heartbleed vulnerability is the cause of the data breach at Community Health Systems, which resulted in 4.5 million records (containing patient data) being compromised. According to a blog post from TrustedSec, the attackers targeted a vulnerable Juniper router and obtained credentials, which allowed them access to the network's VPN.

    The ticket was accidentally routed to cardiology. The attending physician checked it out and the router's heartbeat was absolutely normal and there was no evidence of bleeding in the chassis.
