On August 2, 2024, Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine, also known as PRM Management Company, Inc., reported a data breach to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. The breach occurred after an unauthorized party gained access to an employee’s email account, allowing them to view sensitive information belonging to patients. Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine has since launched an investigation and is notifying those affected by the breach through data breach notification letters. The breach involved access to private details, but the company has not fully completed its review of the extent of the compromised information.
The company discovered suspicious activity in its email system in June 2024. Following the detection of this unusual activity, Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine secured its systems and initiated an investigation with the help of cybersecurity experts. The investigation revealed that unauthorized access occurred between January 30, 2024, and June 5, 2024, during which an external party was able to access confidential information through an employee’s compromised email account. The company is now working to identify which specific consumer data was exposed during the breach.
Although Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine has not yet confirmed the full scope of the information affected, the company indicated that some patients’ Social Security numbers may have been compromised. The company is offering credit monitoring and identity restoration services to anyone whose Social Security number was affected by the breach. As part of its ongoing response, the company is providing detailed information to the victims of the breach and ensuring that protective measures are in place to prevent similar incidents in the future.
