University Diagnostic Medical Imaging Data Breach  – Class Action Investigation

Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith is investigating a potential class action relating to a data breach incident involving University Diagnostic Medical Imaging, PC (“UDMI”), a medical imaging center located in or around the New York City area. The Company confirmed an estimated 138,000 individuals had their information taken in a data breach incident according to a filing with the US Department of Health and Human Services. 

What Happened at UDMI? 

On or around November 26, 2024, UDMI detected that an unauthorized user had accessed its system. As result, the Company launched an internal investigation to ascertain the scope of the breach, finding that the personally-identifying (“PII”) and sensitive medical information of an estimated 138,000 individuals has their information exposed.

The PII and medical information compromised as a result of the data breach includes, but not limited to, the following: name, address, date of birth, referring physician, medical treatment information, and diagnosis information.

Why is it Important to you? 

The data breach, if confirmed, could have severe implications for the affected users, leading to potential identity theft, financial fraud, and further cyberattacks. The hacker group’s bold move to put this data on sale goes on to show the growing menace of cybercrime and the increasing sophistication of these cyber adversaries.
