Excelsior Orthopaedics Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Excelsior Orthopaedics data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who are employees or patients of Excelsior Orthopaedics and its affiliated entity Buffalo Surgery Center.
On August 21, 2024, Excelsior Orthopaedics, LLP, a New York-based provider of sports medicine and orthopaedic care, disclosed a recent data security incident that may have led to unauthorized access to sensitive personal information of patients and employees.
On June 23, 2024, Excelsior Orthopaedics identified unusual activity on its network, leading to the discovery of a data security breach. A specialized third-party cybersecurity firm was engaged to secure the environment and conduct an investigation.
The investigation is ongoing, but initial findings indicate that sensitive personal information of patients and employees from both Excelsior Orthopaedics and its affiliate Buffalo Surgery Center may have been compromised. According to the company's online notice of the breach, Excelsior Orthopaedics provides IT and other services for Buffalo Surgery Center. Ransomware group MONTI has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.
Information exposed in the Excelsior Orthopaedics data breach may include demographic data, health details, and financial information, varying for each individual. To accurately identify the impacted individuals and data, Excelsior has engaged a third-party data mining firm. Affected individuals will be notified via mail once the investigation concludes.
If you are an employee or patient of Excelsior Orthopaedics or its affiliated entity Buffalo Surgery Center, 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 Excelsior Orthopaedics to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
