At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident, which may have affected an unknown number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal information.
A recent report from the Attorney General of Montana states that the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center was compromised due to a cyber security attack where an unauthorized party had gained access to the patient-management tool in late 2023.. The medical center uses a third-party vendor to assist with running its patient-management tool and in November 2023, the vendor noticed that the patient-management tool was unavailable and launched an investigation. A week after the discovery, the vendor confirmed the incident. Data breach letters were sent out by Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center on March 22, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Located in Pomona, California, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center is a healthcare system that operates 14 service locations in Pomona, Claremont, Chino Hills, and La Verne. PVHMC has more than 700 physicians on staff.
