176,200 Ortho Alaska Patients Affected by Data Breach
Posted By Steve Alder on Oct 9, 2023
OrthoAlaska has recently notified the HHS’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) about a data breach that has affected 176,203 patients. At present, little is known about the data breach other than it being a hacking/IT incident in which patient information was exposed or stolen. There is currently no mention of the data breach on the OrthoAlaska website.
The data exposure could potentially be linked to a data breach at OrthoAlaska in October 2022 that exposed the information of former employees. In that incident, it was determined on March 3, 2023, that employee data was involved, and notifications were issued on April 3, 2023.
This post will be updated when further information is obtained.
