Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the Asheville Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center Data Breach that affected an unspecified number of individuals and their personal information.
Asheville Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center (Asheville Arthritis) recently notified government authorities that it suffered from a data breach. The nationwide number of affected individuals is unknown. Asheville Arthritis is a medical treatment facility located in Asheville, North Carolina.
The compromised information includes a variety of highly sensitive details including:
- name,
- address,
- date of birth,
- telephone number,
- social security number,
- and certain medical information such as medical notes, lab results, diagnosis, and health insurance information
The Asheville Arthritis Data Breach Investigation
All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the Asheville Arthritis data breach, in previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, to unauthorized credit card applications, to medical services or government services ordered in their name, to their information being posted on the dark web, to a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls and emails received. A notice letter is not yet available, and it is unclear whether victims have been notified. The Maine AG website reflects that notice has gone out, or will be made, via mail and e-mail.
