I take umbrage with headlines like this. It wasn't the employee's fault for the data breach at Ascension, a healthcare giant with over 140 hospitals across the United States. It was Ascension's leadership that failed to implement adequate cybersecurity defenses that resulted in the breach of 5.6 million patients' data.
