A US-based healthcare firm is warning patients about a data breach affecting 92,332 people.
According to a new filing with the state of Maine, a “data security incident” has hit Oglethorpe, a firm that runs mental health and addiction recovery treatment facilities across three states.
The Tampa, Florida-based company says an unauthorized third party has tapped into its network, and may have accessed first and last names, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers and medical information.
“We wiped and rebuilt affected systems and have taken steps to bolster our network security. We are also reviewing and altering our policies, procedures, and network security software relating to the security of our systems and servers, as well as how we store and manage data.
Further, we notified the FBI and are fully cooperating with their investigation.”
Oglethorpe is offering one year of credit monitoring services to people whose information may have been exposed.
The firm has facilities in Florida, Louisiana, and Ohio, and has not publicly specified whether patients at all of its locations are impacted.
