Recently, Austin Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (“Austin Plastic Surgery”) became aware of suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, Austin Plastic Surgery determined that cybercriminals infiltrated this inadequately secured network and gained access to its files. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals potentially accessed and acquired files containing the sensitive personal information of thousands of individuals.
The information potentially exposed in the data breach likely includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Financial account information
- Credit/debit card information
- Medical information
- Health insurance information
- Driver’s license numbers
- Dates of birth
- Addresses
As a result of the Austin Plastic Surgery data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
