Written by Console & Associates P.C. | Feb 17, 2025 9:45:00 PM

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Kelsey-Seybold Clinic data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Kelsey-Seybold Medical Group, PLLC, which has potentially exposed sensitive personal identifiable information, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical information, health insurance information, and dates of birth.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Texas Attorney General's office states that Kelsey-Seybold Clinic experienced a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to confidential information. The data breach was reported on February 14, 2025, though details about the specific nature of the incident remain limited. The clinic has not released additional public statements about the breach at this time.

The investigation indicates that the breach may have occurred either within Kelsey-Seybold's systems or through one of their third-party vendors. Data breach letters are expected to be sent by Kelsey-Seybold Clinic informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and specific data that was compromised in their case.

  4. Change passwords for affected accounts
    1. Create strong, unique passwords for each account
    2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
    3. Consider using a password manager for better security
