December 10 – The American Addiction Centers data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The American Addiction Centers data breach resulted in unauthorized access to sensitive information of certain individuals being compromised through a network server incident.
According to the filing with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, American Addiction Centers reported a data breach after they experienced a “hacking / IT incident” involving a network server. The breach investigation is still ongoing, and at this time, it remains unclear whether the affected server belonged to AAC directly or if this was a third-party vendor breach.
On November 25, 2024, AAC filed formal notice of the breach with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. The company has completed its review of the compromised files and is preparing to send out data breach notification letters to all affected individuals. These letters will detail the specific types of information that were compromised in each case.
