New: NYC Health and Hospitals says a data breach earlier this year affects 1.8 million people. Hackers stole personal info, medical data, government-issued IDs, Social Security numbers — and *biometrics*, including fingerprints and palm scans.
Already one of the largest healthcare breaches of 2026.

@zackwhittaker Is your article about the March 24 notification on their website?
Notice of Data Breach - NYC Health + Hospitals
Notice of Data Breach New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (“NYC Health + Hospitals”) is posting this notice to inform affected individuals
NYC Health + Hospitals (www.nychealthandhospitals.org)
No one in my family has received paper or email notices about this. I learned about it now through your article.
I've been personally affected by lots of data breaches but this one is particularly bad.

@AlesandroOrtiz I mention this in my story -- the two incidents don't appear to be connected, and the NADAP affects a far smaller number of people. I have several questions out the org.
