Getting in to see your doctor in person can be difficult, especially when you’re busy. This is why many Americans have turned to telehealth instead. However, one such service has reported that it fell victim to a data breach in which the personal and medical info of more than 900,000 patients was exposed online.

As reported by BleepingComputer, the service in question is ConnectOnCall, and it’s a subsidiary of the healthcare software as a service company Phreesia. In addition to telehealth, ConnectOnCall provides after-hours on-call answering services for doctor’s offices, hospitals and other healthcare businesses.
