FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A data breach that has impacted more than 2.2 million people around the country has reached Central California.

Valley Children's Medical Group officials say Connexin Software, a company that works with electronic medical records, confirmed the incident.

The breach happened in late August, but Valley Children's says they did not know about it until December 19. Their relationship with Connexin ended last October.
