If MEDNAX Services held your billing or health records, a 2020 email breach may have exposed your Social Security number and protected health information.
MEDNAX Services, Inc. Data Breach
MEDNAX may not be a name you recognize, but they may have your information in their database. MEDNAX supports medical offices by providing administrative and billing functions. Back in June 2020 they discovered that some of their email accounts had been breached by an unauthorized third party. While they knew that patient information was exposed, they were not able to determine at the time exactly what information was involved.Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. The theft of sensitive, protected health information, and personally identifiable information can lead to a plethora of problems for individuals who are the victims of data breaches that occurred in databases they were not even aware of, such as in the case of MEDNAX Services, Inc.The consumer information MEDNAX has on file that may have been exposed include:
• Social Security Numbers,
• Financial Information,
• Protected Health Information,
• Driver's License Numbers,
• Other PII (Personally Identifiable Information)
Data breaches can also result in a long-term erosion of personal data privacy, as the hacked personally identifiable information may be traded or shared amongst cyber-criminals for years to come, on the internet, the dark web, or elsewhere.. This significantly increases the risk of further identity theft, financial fraud and massive headaches for consumers and victims.
