From Cyber Sloth to Security Superhero: Broomfield Nursing Center’s Hilarious Journey to Data Protection Compliance

Broomfield Skilled Nursing found themselves in cyber detention after a Nursing Home Data Breach in 2021. The Colorado Attorney General’s Office was none too pleased, especially when they discovered two-factor authentication was treated more like a polite suggestion than a rule. Sure hope they’ve learned…

Hot Take:

Well, it looks like Broomfield Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has been sent to cyber detention! The local assisted living facility has been slapped with fines and a stern 'update your security systems' mandate after a data breach in 2021. Apparently, they thought two-factor authentication was more of a 'suggestion' than a 'requirement'. But, hey, who needs password protection when you're handling sensitive data, right? Cue eye roll The Colorado Attorney General's Office wasn't too thrilled either, and accused the facility of being a slowpoke in notifying the victims. Oh, and did I mention they also forgot to have a data disposal policy? Looks like someone needs a cybersecurity refresher course!
