Concord Orthopaedics Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Concord Orthopaedics data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Concord Orthopaedics, which potentially exposed sensitive personal identifiable information including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, state identification numbers, and health insurance information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the New Hampshire Attorney General's office states that the Concord Orthopaedics data breach occurred due to unauthorized access to a third-party software vendor's program used by the medical practice.

According to the investigation, Concord Orthopaedics was notified on November 21, 2024, that their third-party software vendor's program had potentially been compromised. The practice responded by securing their network infrastructure, terminating the vendor software's access to their systems, and launching a comprehensive forensic investigation with cybersecurity specialists.

The investigation revealed that while an unauthorized party had gained access to the third-party software, Concord Orthopaedics' internal systems remained secure. However, patient information was still potentially accessible through the compromised vendor software.

The exposed information may include:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Dates of birth
• Driver's license numbers
• State identification numbers
• Health insurance information

Data breach letters were sent out by Concord Orthopaedics on March 25, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific types of personal information that may have been compromised in their individual cases.
