VisionPoint Eye Center Suffers Data Breach

On December 19, 2024, VisionPoint Eye Center, PLLC, based in Bloomington, Illinois, filed a notice with the Attorney General of Texas regarding a data breach that occurred earlier in October. The breach, which was part of a network security incident discovered on October 3, 2024, allowed unauthorized access to confidential patient data. VisionPoint’s investigation revealed that the compromised information included sensitive personal details, such as patients’ first and last names, medical record numbers, health insurance information, and other medical data.

The breach was identified when VisionPoint noticed unusual network activity, prompting the company to immediately secure its systems and enlist the help of cybersecurity experts. Through the investigation, VisionPoint was able to confirm that the unauthorized party had access to files containing patients’ private information. After securing the network, the company reviewed the compromised data to determine which individuals were affected by the breach. The review process was completed by October 29, 2024.

On December 19, VisionPoint began notifying affected individuals by sending out breach notification letters. These letters provided details on the types of data compromised, and the company encouraged recipients to take steps to protect themselves from potential identity theft or fraud. While the investigation is ongoing, VisionPoint has assured the public that they are implementing enhanced security measures to prevent future incidents and minimize the impact of the breach on those affected.

VisionPoint Eye Center, which serves patients across Central Illinois, specializes in ophthalmology and optometry services. With a team of around 163 employees, the practice generates an estimated annual revenue of $9 million. The company has pledged to continue working with outside experts to ensure the security of its network and maintain the trust of its patients in light of the recent security breach.
