Florida Patient Data Breach: Doctors Imaging Group’s Cybersecurity Comedy of Errors
Florida-based Doctors Imaging Group has admitted that sensitive medical and financial data of 171,862 patients was stolen during a 2024 cyberattack. The group took its time notifying affected individuals, wrapping up its investigation in August. While no free identity theft protection was offered, patients were told to check their credit reports.
Hot Take:
Who knew that a visit to the doctor could come with a side of identity crisis? Doctors Imaging Group might want to consider adding ‘cybersecurity check-up’ to their list of services—right between MRIs and X-rays!
Key Points:
- Doctors Imaging Group suffered a cyberattack in November 2024, affecting 171,862 patients.
- Stolen information includes medical and financial data, PII, and Social Security numbers.
- The company took nearly a year to notify affected individuals after completing its investigation.
- No indication that the attack was linked to a known ransomware group.
- Victims were advised to monitor financial statements, but no complimentary identity theft services were offered.
