“The breach of sensitive personal health information can be devastating to those who are affected.”

Through a system of laboratories across the country, LifeLabs conducts about 112 million blood tests a year.

In the open letter, Brown apologized for the breach and listed the steps LifeLabs has instituted to correct the situation.

They include hiring “world-class cyber security experts to isolate and secure the affected systems” and “further strengthening our systems to deter future incidents.”

Brown said the company will also offer “security protection services.”

“Any customer who is concerned about this incident can receive one free year of protection that includes dark web (cyber) monitoring and identity theft insurance,” he said in the letter.

While news of the breach was just made public by the company Tuesday, it is believed the attack took place on Nov. 1. (Anadolu Agency)
