Lifetime Psychiatry Data Breach Class Action Investigation

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Lifetime Psychiatry data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Lifetime Psychiatry which potentially exposed sensitive personal identifiable information through unauthorized access to an employee's email account.

What Happened?

A recent report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights states that the Lifetime Psychiatry data breach occurred due to an email security incident where an unauthorized party gained access to an employee's email account between September 25 and September 27, 2024. The compromised information includes:

• Names
• Social Security numbers
• Bank account information
• Credit card information
• Addresses
• Telephone numbers
• Dates of birth
• Health insurance information
• Medical information

Data breach letters were sent out by Lifetime Psychiatry on December 30, 2024, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
   1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
   2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
   3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries
      
      
2. Consider freezing your credit
   1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze
   2. Understand this prevents new accounts from being opened in your name
   3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit
      
      
3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the Lifetime Psychiatry data breach
   1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Lifetime Psychiatry
   2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
   3. Verify all communications through official channels
      
      
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
      
      
5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
   1. Add this extra layer of security to all important accounts
   2. Use authenticator apps rather than SMS when available
   3. Keep backup codes in a secure location
