Georgia Urology Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Georgia Urology data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at GA Urology, which may have affected patients, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from Georgia Urology's website notice states that the Georgia Urology data breach occurred due to unauthorized access to two employee email accounts. On October 25, 2024, the medical practice detected suspicious activity within these accounts and immediately took steps to secure their systems.

Following this discovery, GA Urology engaged external cybersecurity specialists to conduct a thorough investigation. The investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party had gained access to emails and attachments containing confidential patient information. After a comprehensive review process that concluded on March 5, 2025, the practice determined which patients were affected and what information was compromised.

The exposed data includes highly sensitive information such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, medical information, dates of birth, and health insurance information. This combination of personal and medical data creates significant risks for affected individuals.

Data breach letters were sent out by Georgia Urology on March 27, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
