Disgusting that they can keep that quiet for more than a month and not face legal consequences. On an unrelated note, who's their CEO?

I'm pretty sure there are HIPPA rules about informing the public as soon as possible. I could be wrong.

assisted living facilities

Aka retirement homes.

Aka exploitation hospices when for-profits manage them.

My Dad withered in one of them - Catholic-run, too - for a few months until my siblings and I realized he wasn't fed properly, cared for properly, and the retirement home franchisee was spending the absolute minimum on him in order to keep him alive and paying rent but not a cent more.

Ascension's data breach is probably the least egregious thing about that company.
