OrthoNY Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the OrthoNY data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
OrthopedicsNY, a New York-based orthopedic medical practice, is alerting current and former patients about a recent data breach that may have compromised their personal information.
On December 28, 2023, OrthopedicsNY discovered that an unauthorized third party attempted to access its computer network and demand a ransom. The company secured its systems and initiated an investigation with the assistance of independent IT security and forensic experts. The investigation, completed on September 5, 2024, found that the breach exposed various personal data, including names, mailing addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, passport numbers, financial information, health insurance details, and protected health information. However, the specific information compromised varied for each affected individual.
Letters are now being mailed to those affected by the OrthopedicsNY data breach.
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 OrthoNY to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
