Data Breach Incident Details

A recent report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (HHS-OCR) states that the Lakewood Medical Center was compromised due to a ransomware attack. On January 26, 2024, Lakewood secured its system after detecting suspicious activity, and then began an investigation.

Ultimately, Lakewood Medical Center’s data breach investigation confirmed that its computer network was compromised on January 25, 2024, and launched a ransomware attack in the early mornings of January 26, 2024. All electronic medical record files for patients the center saw before January 26, 2024, were lost. This includes names, Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, health information, and other private information

If Lakewood Medical Center hasn’t already, it will soon be sending out data breach letters to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident. These letters should provide victims with a list of what information belonging to them was compromised.
