A cyber-attack on a US Healthcare provider that supports eye clinics leads towards a leakage of 400,000 people sensitive healthcare information during last year.
Colorado-based Panorama Eyecare in a notification to regulators of Maine and Massachusetts that data of 377,911 patients and employees had stolen — including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, license numbers, financial account information, dates of service and medical provider names.
Panorama Eyecare owns or provides services to dozens of optometry or ophthalmology offices in the Rocky Mountain region. Its systems manage IT departments, HR, payroll, marketing and capital improvements for equipment and facilities.
The attack was first discovered the attack on June 3, 2023, and an investigation revealed the hackers had access to the company’s network as far back as May 22. The investigation into the incident concluded nearly a year later, on May 9, and revealed the hackers “may have accessed and removed certain files” from their network.
Victims are being given two years of free identity protection services. DataBreaches.net reported last July that the now-defunct LockBit ransomware gang claimed the attack on Panorama Eyecare and said it stole 798 gigabytes of data.
