At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Sleep Management Institute 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 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights states that the Sleep Management Institute was compromised due to a ransomware attack that was discovered on February 5, 2024 after the institute experienced unusual activity within its computer network. The Sleep Management Institute took certain systems offline and launched an investigation. It was confirmed that unauthorized actors accessed the Sleep Management systems from January 27, 2024 to February 6, 2024 containing confidential patient information that were accessible to the hackers. Data breach letters were sent out by Sleep Management Institute on April 5, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Sleep Management Institute is a sleep diagnostic and treatment provider that diagnoses and treats more than 90 sleep disorders. These include sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, and periodic limb movement. The Sleep Management operates six locations in Kenwood, Monroe, Eastgate, Mt. Auburn, Green Township and Middletown.
