Somnia Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Somnia data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Somnia, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information of patients and healthcare clients.

What Happened?

A recent report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights states that the Somnia data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident that compromised the company's email system.

The incident timeline began on November 21, 2024, when Somnia Anesthesia identified unusual activity within their email infrastructure. The company took protective measures to secure all potentially compromised email accounts. Simultaneously, Somnia engaged a specialized cybersecurity team to conduct a thorough investigation into the scope and impact of the unauthorized access.

Through their investigation, by December 10, 2024, Somnia Anesthesia confirmed that multiple email accounts had been compromised and that these accounts contained confidential information belonging to various individuals. Following this discovery, the company began a comprehensive review of all affected accounts to identify exactly what information had been exposed and which individuals were impacted. The exposed sensitive information includes:

• Names
• Social Security numbers
• Addresses
• Dates of birth
• Health information
• Health insurance information

Data breach letters were sent out by Somnia on February 14, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific types of personal information that may have been compromised in their individual cases. Somnia has indicated that their review process of compromised information is ongoing, suggesting that additional affected individuals may be identified in the future.

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

   3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit
      
      
3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the Somnia data breach
   1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Somnia
   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
