Kim Kardashian may have been the victim of a privacy breach at at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Five workers and a student research assistant were fired for viewing private patient medical records. 14 patient records were “inappropriately accessed” between June 18 and June 24 according to LA Times. Kim was not named specifically in the report, but she was at the hospital just prior to the breach.
Six people were fired over the breach: four were employees of community physicians who have medical staff privileges at the hospital, one was a medical assistant employed by Cedars-Sinai, and one was an unpaid student research assistant.
Reality television star Kim Kardashian gave birth to her daughter with rapper Kanye West at the hospital on June 15. A hospital spokeswoman declined to identify the patients whose records were accessed but said that all patients involved had been notified of the breach.
Representatives of Kardashian and West did not respond to requests for comment Friday.
Five of the workers accessed a single patient record; the other one looked at 14. The people involved will be permanently denied access to Cedars-Sinai records even if they go on to work for other health providers, the hospital said.
