November 4 – The Kaiser Permanente (“KP”) 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 this year. The Kaiser Permanente data breach resulted in the first and last names, dates of birth, medical record numbers and medical information of certain individuals being compromised.
According to a recent report filed with the California Attorney General’s office, Kaiser Permanente data breach occurred when the company discovered unauthorized access to two employee email accounts on September 3, 2024. The compromised accounts contained sensitive patient information prompting Kaiser Permanente to take immediate action to secure the affected accounts and launch an investigation into the incident. Kaiser noted that credit card numbers and Social Security numbers were not a part of the affected information. On November 1, 2024, Kaiser Permanente began notifying affected individuals through detailed data breach notification letters, explaining the scope of the compromise and offering guidance on protective measures.
