TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare released an update Tuesday about a recent data breach impacting some of its patients.

TMH said the cybersecurity incident happened with a health records company they previously used called Cerner.

TMH sent letters to impacted patients in June and then again in December.

years after I have stopped doing business with them? I got a letter from BCBS many years after I stopped using them saying I was involved in a data breach. This is the 3rd or 4th one I have received from companies I no longer do business with. It should be a law that they have to purge (not sell) my data as soon as I stop using them.
