Broomfield Skilled Nursing found themselves in cyber detention after a Nursing Home Data Breach in 2021.

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.
