Ambulatory Surgery Center of Westchester Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Westchester data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
The Mount Kisco Surgery Center LLC, operating as The Ambulatory Surgery Center of Westchester (ASCW), has reported a data breach impacting the personal and medical information of certain current and former employees and patients. The breach was first detected on November 3, 2023, when unusual activity was discovered in an employee's email account. A subsequent investigation revealed that unauthorized access to files within email accounts occurred between October 23, 2023 and November 3, 2023.
An analysis of the breach determined that sensitive information, including names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, dates of birth, medical records, health insurance information, and financial account data, may have been compromised. ASCW notified affected individuals via mail on June 26, 2024. A report provided to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicates that 22,139 people were impacted by the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Westchester data breach.
ASCW is an outpatient surgical center in Mount Kisco, New York that is clinically affiliated with CareMount Medical, P.C., Putnam Hospital Center and various surgeons in Westchester and Putnam Counties.
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 Ambulatory Surgery Center of Westchester to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
