Des Moines Orthopaedic Surgeons Data Breach Class Action Lawsuit Investigation

Maxey Law Firm is investigating Des Moines Orthopaedic Surgeons, P.C. (“DMOS”), which recently sent notice of a data breach to impacted individuals.

The notice states that DMOS experienced a security incident that impacted their network on or about February 17, 2023, when an unauthorized actor was able to access and/or remove certain DMOS files from its network due to a DMOS vendor failure.

DMOS reported that the data breach may have impacted 789 residents of Texas. Residents of other states may have also been impacted.

For each of these individuals, the information involved may have included their full names in combination with one or more of the following: Social Security numbers, date of birth, driver’s license numbers and/or state identification numbers, passports, direct deposit bank information, medical information, and/or health insurance information.

It is unclear whether or not the Social Security numbers were encrypted and, if not, why they were not encrypted.
