February 25 – The RxSight 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 RxSight data breach resulted in the exposure of names and medical information of certain individuals being compromised. The total number of affected individuals has not been publicly disclosed at this time.
According to the Montana Attorney General’s office, RxSight reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent SIM swap cyber security attack. The company detected unusual activity within an employee’s email account on May 3, 2024, which prompted immediate security measures including password resets across their systems.
Following this discovery, RxSight engaged cybersecurity experts to conduct a thorough investigation of the incident. By July 10, 2024, investigators determined that an unauthorized party had gained access to personal information stored within the company’s systems. The company then undertook a comprehensive review of the compromised files, completing this process on November 5, 2024.
On November 29, 2024, RxSight sent out data breach letters to those individuals whose information was affected by the breach. These notification letters should contain details about the specific types of information that were compromised for each recipient.
