🚨 Breaking News: A massive cybersecurity incident at a healthcare firm has left over 100,000 Americans reeling in shock as their sensitive personal and health records were exposed.
In a recent filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General, North Carolina-based optical care firm Asheville Eye Associates admitted to discovering a serious data breach affecting a whopping 147,116 people.
According to the firm, an unknown attacker breached its systems and siphoned patient data from its network, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical treatment reports, and health insurance records. 😱
“On January 31, 2025, Asheville Eye Associates (AEA) notified individuals that it had detected and stopped a network security incident. An unauthorized party gained access to our network and acquired certain files from our systems. We quickly engaged third-party specialists to assist us with securing the network environment and investigating the incident.
Since that time, AEA has completed a comprehensive review and investigation of the potentially affected records and systems. Through that subsequent investigation, which concluded on April 14, 2025, we identified additional individuals whose personal information was contained in the affected records.”
