Between October 9, 2021 and October 17, 2021, Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles experienced a data breach where an unauthorized third party gained access to its servers where sensitive patient data was stored. Planned Parenthood waited until November 30, 2021 to notify people that their information was accessed.
Planned Parenthood has had several data breaches in the past few years. This most recent data breach targeted only the Los Angeles Planned Parenthood. Around 400,000 individuals have been impacted by the breach.
What Information is Involved?
According to Planned Parenthood, the following information was affected:
Name

Clinical information, including diagnosis, procedure, and/or prescription information
This information is called your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) or Protected Health Information (“PHI”). It tells others about you and is considered part of your identity.

Stolen PII and PHI can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity.
Planned Parenthood is not offering free identity protection services. The best way to protect yourself after a data breach is to sign up for identity protection services as soon as possible.

I really love that law firm. They were on their job. They took care of me very well, and I highly recommend that law firm for any of your doings. I just wanna thank Josh and his crew for helping me all that they have. Done for me and my family.
Thank you to the Staff at Arnold Law Firm! This was my 3rd time using their services for different needs. Each time has been a smooth, honest and professional experience. They have provided me with guidance & consulting services to reach a positive outcome. Each time I have been pleasantly surprised! Thank you Arnold Law Firm! 🤗
A very special Thank You to Sal, Dominic & Jeff! 🤗🤗🤗
They always keep me up to date on my case. I also felt it was done in a timely manner!
Arnold Law firm provided me with an amazing experience. They were super communicative and assisted me with any needs or questions that I had during my journey to recovery and through financial hardship due to my car accident. I was hit by an uninsured motorist and would have been completely overwhelmed by all of the bills, paperwork, insurance nuances, and legal action needed. Jesus Garcia was an absolute pleasure to work with and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Met with a lawyer who is taking care of my wife's potential lawsuit. He was nice and his assistant is really on top of things.I'd recommend them if you need representation. No upfront costs and reasonable expectations when suit is settled.
