Morehead Memorial Hospital of Eden, N.C., is dealing with regulatory fallout from a “phishing attack” this summer that jeopardized protected health information belonging to thousands of former patients and employees, the Winston-Salem Journal reported. The news emerged this week in the hospital’s continuing bankruptcy case when its attorney sought permission to pay a Denver law firm specializing in data security to represent it in the “regulatory investigation.” Bankruptcy lawyer Jennifer Lyday submitted paperwork Tuesday seeking court approval to hire Denver firm Norton Rose Fulbright to help with “a regulatory investigation and any other investigations, actions and/or claims arising from a data security incident.”
