Sutter Health faces second lawsuit over data breach of 4.2M patients

It's only been days since patients sued Sutter Health over its largest data breach, and the Californian health system faces a second class-action lawsuit. Like Karen Pardieck's complaint, the law firm Harris & Ruble, on behalf of Javier Garcia, claims Sutter Health failed to protect patients' medical information and to properly notify affected patients of the breach as required by state law. The suit was filed on Nov. 16, the same day Sutter Health announced the stolen computer contained the personal data of 4.24 million patients. Press release
