The Lyon Firm is investigating St. Joseph’s/Candler data breach claims after the healthcare organization began sending out notification letters to around 1.4 million affected patients.
On June 17, 2021 the Georgia hospital system suffered a ransomware attack which reportedly compromised a wealth of personal health information, including the following:
- Names
- Addresses
- Dates of birth
- Social Security numbers
- Driver’s license numbers
- Patient account numbers
- Billing account numbers
- Financial information
- Health insurance plan member IDs
- Medical record numbers
- Dates of service
- Provider names
- Medical and clinical treatment information
St. Joseph’s/Candler Data Breach Notification letters are being sent out to affected individuals and complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services are being offered. However, attorneys are considering legal action to properly compensate the victims of the data breach.
The Lyon Firm is currently investigating the St. Joseph’s/Candler data breach and is actively involved in several other class action healthcare data breach cases nationwide. Call Joe Lyon to discuss your case and to learn more about protecting yourself following a security breach incident.
