Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Blackstone Valley Community Health Care data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
In a recent cybersecurity incident, Blackstone Valley Community Health Care in Rhode Island experienced a disruption in its computer network, resulting in the exposure of personal information of approximately 34,416 individuals. The incident, discovered on November 11, 2023, prompted the organization to launch an investigation.
Upon completion of the forensic investigation on March 11, 2024, it was determined that information compromised in the Blackstone Valley Community Health Care data breach may have included names, dates of birth, medical details, health insurance information and Social Security numbers of those affected. Blackstone Valley Community Health Care, known for providing a variety of medical services, is now notifying potentially impacted individuals in writing.
DataBreaches.net reported that ransomware group Hunters International claimed responsibility for the Blackstone Valley data breach back in December 2023 and posted 16.6 GB of stolen files on the dark web that "anyone could access." According to the article, some of the data was still available on the leak site as of April 21, 2024.
If your information was exposed in the breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Blackstone Valley Community Health Care to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
