Posted On June 20, 2022 Consumer Privacy & Data Breaches
June 20, 2022 – Recently, Avamere Health Services, LLC (“Avamere Living”) filed official notice of a data breach resulting from what the company explains as a three-month period of “intermittent unauthorized access.” The breach appears to have affected employees of Avamere, but not residents. While Avamere has yet to publicly confirm the type of data compromised in the recent breach, it has made free credit monitoring available to affected employees, meaning the leaked information was likely personal or financial in nature. On June 17, 2022, Avamere Health Services began sending data breach notifications to those impacted by the recent data security incident.
If you received a data breach notification, it is essential you understand what is at risk. The data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C. are actively investigating the Avamere Living data breach on behalf of people whose information was exposed. As a part of this investigation, we are providing free consultations to anyone affected by the breach who is interested in learning more about the risks of identity theft, what they can do to protect themselves, and what their legal options may be to obtain compensation from Avamere Health Services, LLC.
According to official notice filed by the company, Avamere recently learned that an unauthorized party gained “intermittent access” to the company’s servers between the dates of January 19, 2022 and March 17, 2022. After learning about the incident, Avamere launched its own investigation, along with the assistance of third-party cybersecurity experts. This investigation confirmed the unauthorized access, and, on May 18, 2022, Avamere was able to identify those employees whose information was leaked.
Notably, Avamere has not publicly released what data types were breached. However, on June 17, 2022, Avamere Living sent out data breach letters to all individuals whose information was compromised, explaining the incident as well as what specific data was compromised.
