At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the alleged American Clinical Solutions data breach. This breach was disclosed by the hackers following a ransomware incident, which may have affected an unknown number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal information.
An article from the HIPAA Journal states that American Clinical Solutions was compromised due to a ransomware attack. A ransomware group claimed to have accessed the company’s computer network and were able to obtain over 700GB of data. The hackers added the company to their leak site claiming that the data consists of more than 400,000 medical records of patients who had testing performed at ACS facilities. American Clinical Solutions recently reported that 300,000 people have been affected by this breach. Data breach letters will need to be sent out by American Clinical Solutions informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Based in Sun City, Florida, American Clinical Solutions, LLC is a healthcare services company that provides testing services for prescription and illicit narcotics.
