Overview

Analysis identifies predictors for large healthcare data breaches, indicating a need for better cybersecurity.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to identify factors associated with large-scale healthcare data breaches.
  • Analyzed 7327 breach reports from 2010 to 2025 using logistic and negative binomial regression.
  • Assessed differences in breach size by incident type using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.
  • Modelled factors affecting breach magnitude and trends over time.
  • Median breach size impacted 3892 individuals with a skewed distribution.
  • Hacking/IT events showed a significant association with severe breaches (OR = 2.6).
  • Business associate involvement correlated with larger breaches (IRR = 2.0).
