April 13 – The data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C. are investigating the Lakewood Medical Center (Lakewood) data breach that was reported after the company was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The Lakewood Medical Center data breach resulted in the below information of certain individuals being compromised:
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (HHS-OCR), the Lakewood Medical Center data breach resulted from a ransomware attack. This ransomware attack occurred on January 26, 2024, and compromised all patient data collected up to that point.
After the ransomware attack, Lakewood Medical Center enlisted third-party experts to conduct a data breach investigation. This confirmed the scope of the breach and revealed that the stolen information notably includes names and Social Security numbers. Other sensitive information includes addresses, contact information, and health information.
If Lakewood Medical Center hasn’t already, it will soon be sending out data breach letters to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident. These letters should provide victims with a list of what information belonging to them was compromised.
Lakewood Medical Center is based in Lakewood, Colorado, and provides healthcare services.
