ANNAPOLIS, MD — A patient at the Annapolis-based Anne Arundel Medical Center has filed a lawsuit against the hospital's parent company after a cyberattack impacted medical logs, according to a report.
The Banner reported that Jokisha White filed the suit on Sept. 11 and accused the Luminis Health parent company of putting patients at "certainly impending" fraud risk after failing to implement data breach safeguards.
