Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the Summit Pathology and Summit Pathology Laboratories (collectively “Summit Pathology”) data breach investigation that affected an unknown number of individuals and their personal information.
On April 18, 2024, Summit Pathology discovered suspicious activity on their network and launched an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the breach. The investigation discovered that an unauthorized actor potentially accessed and acquired certain files and data stored within its network. Affected individuals were not notified of the Summit Pathology data breach until October 18, 2024. Summit Pathology discovered that hackers were able to compromise a significant amount of personal information. The compromised information includes a variety of highly sensitive details including:
- Name,
- Address,
- Social Security number,
- Medical information
- Financial information
- Diagnostic information
- Date of birth, and
- Health insurance information
Summit Pathology Data Breach Investigation
Summit Pathology informed the Massachusetts State Attorney General’s office of the breach, where a copy of the consumer notification letter can be found. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the Summit Pathology 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.
