"Ott Cone & Redpath, A Greensboro, NC-based law firm that provides legal services to healthcare organizations, has experienced a cyberattack that saw a cyber criminal gain access to a company email account. The substitute breach notice does not state when the account was compromised or when the breach was detected, only that the affected individuals were identified on October 31, 2024.

The personally identifiable and protected health information of 22,171 individuals was compromised in the incident, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical treatment information, health insurance information, and, for a limited number of individuals, financial account information. Individual notification letters have been mailed and credit monitoring and identity theft protection services are being offered free of charge for 12 months. The law firm said a series of additional cybersecurity measures have been implemented and further measures will soon be rolled out."
