About Ascension Health
Ascension is a prominent non-profit health system in the nation
and operates under Catholic principles.
What happened?
On or about May 8, 2024, Ascension
detected unauthorized activity in its computer systems. Ascension
initiated an investigation, which included retaining consulting
cybersecurity experts and notifying the FBI. The investigation
determined that between May 7 and 8,
2024, a cybercriminal accessed files containing personal
information about Ascension's patients and employees. This
information included names, medical records, payment details,
insurance information, government identification numbers, and other
personal data such as dates of birth and addresses. Approximately 6
million individuals have been affected by this data breach.
How can I protect my personal data?
If you receive a data breach notification, you must guard
against possible misuse of your personal information, including
identity theft and fraud, by regularly reviewing your
account statements and monitoring your credit reports for
suspicious or unauthorized activity. Additionally, you should
consider legal options for mitigating such risks.
Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating a class action lawsuit to
seek legal remedies for customers whose sensitive personal and
patient data may have been compromised by the Ascension data
breach.
