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.

The whole team has fought for me for over three years. They are very smart and dedicated to their work. They have gone above and beyond for me throughout my whole case. I Highly recommend them for any legal work. If it wasn’t for them, I would not be in the United States Air Force today!
Excellent representation! Very professional and efficient. Stephanie is especially responsive, available and kept me informed throughout process.
They are the best. Never had any problems.
A law suit isn’t easy, finding a good lawyer is hard, and the process can be long. With everything being said, it’s nice to have a team that truly cares, goes above and beyond for you/your case, and works in your best interest. Even the woman that work at the front desk are extremely welcoming and incredibly sweet. So if you’re looking for a lawyer, call Arnold Law Firm. You won’t be disappointed.Thank you Joshua, Anna, the rest of the team, and Arnold Law Firm for being incredible! Like I said, I couldn’t be more grateful for the hard work and care you have put into my case.
I would highly recommend Arnold Law Firm, especially George Chryssafis. He did an excellent job.
