Received follow up.

15 Oct 2014:
Left an additional voicemail for the compliance officer and to date have not received a response. Closing out the ticket as apparently they are not interested in resolving this issue.

Receiving media inquiries into this breach. Out of respect for those affected we have declined any interviews at this time to give Cone Health an opportunity to close their security related issues.

Closed our ticket due to non response.
