What Happened at Proliance Surgeons?
Proliance Surgeons allegedly experienced a cyberattack that affected certain systems on their network. Systems and files were encrypted, and unauthorized access resulted in the theft of a number of files. The company started an investigation with the help of third-party cybersecurity professionals.
Proliance concluded on May 24, 2023 that additional files may have contained personal information, and may have been accessed by an unauthorized party on or around February 11, 2023.
