150,000 Records Accessed in Advantage Dental Breach

Compromised data included names, Social Security numbers, birthdays, phone numbers and home addresses, but not treatment or financial information.

The information was accessed between Feb. 23-26, when Advantage’s internal IT specialists detected the security breach.

 

So far, no patients have reported their information was used for criminal activity, but Advantage says it’s covering the cost of an identify theft monitoring service for those affected and is working with law enforcement to determine the scope of the incident.

As a precautionary measure, since the breach, all patient data is now no longer available remotely and can only be accessed by computers within the offices.
