Choice Specialty Pharmacy Faces Data Breach

August 20, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Incidents

On August 20, 2024, Contents Trader, Inc., doing business as Choice Specialty Pharmacy, reported a data breach to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. The breach involved unauthorized access to sensitive consumer information, raising concerns about the potential impact on patients. Following the discovery of the breach, Choice Specialty Pharmacy began an investigation to understand the nature and scope of the incident. The company also indicated that data breach notification letters would be sent to all individuals whose information was affected once the investigation was complete.

Currently, the details surrounding the cause of the data breach are still unclear. The notice filed with the HHS Office for Civil Rights provides limited insight into whether the breach resulted from a cyberattack directly targeting Choice Specialty Pharmacy or if it stemmed from a breach involving one of the company’s third-party vendors. This uncertainty highlights the growing risks associated with third-party data management, as vulnerabilities in vendor systems can expose sensitive information even for businesses that implement strong security measures.

As the investigation progresses, Choice Specialty Pharmacy is actively reviewing the compromised files to determine which specific types of information were accessed and which consumers may be affected. While the exact nature of the leaked data has not been disclosed, it is likely that the breach involved protected health information, considering that any breaches impacting over 500 individuals require reporting to HHS. This lack of clarity regarding the type of data compromised has left consumers concerned about the potential consequences for their personal information and privacy.

Choice Specialty Pharmacy is based in Sugar Land, Texas, and specializes in creating pharmaceutical compounds tailored for patients with specific health needs. With a staff of more than 25 employees and generating approximately $5 million in annual revenue, the pharmacy plays a vital role in providing customized medication solutions to its community. The company has emphasized its commitment to addressing the breach and safeguarding the sensitive information of its patients in light of the recent incident.
