Sixteen states have reached a settlement with the Medical Informatics Engineering and NoMoreClipboard, LLC, which have agreed to pay $900,000 to resolve allegations that the companies violated the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), unfair and deceptive practice laws, notice of data breach statutes, and state personal information protection laws. The companies provide patient portals to healthcare providers, enabling patients to access their health records. Hackers allegedly infiltrated the companies’ servers in May 2015, stealing the information of more than 3.9 million individuals. A consent judgment with specific compliance agreements was also entered by the court.  FL; NC
