Our firm has concluded its investigation into this matter and is not currently accepting new clients. Thank you for considering Console & Associates, P.C.
At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Lexington Medical Center data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident, which may have affected an unknown number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal information.
A recent report from the Attorney General of Vermont states that the Lexington Medical Center was compromised due to a cyber security attack. On October 4, 2023, suspicious activity was detected, prompting the company to contain the incident and launch an investigation. It was later confirmed on January 18, 2024 that the breach exposed certain patient information. Data breach letters were sent out by Lexington Medical Center on February 14, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Lexington Medical Center, headquartered in Columbia, SC, is a 607-bed teaching hospital and anchor of a 5-hospital network. Lexington's emergency departments treat approximately 100,000 patients annually, and the hospital performs around 25,000 surgeries each year.
