On November 21, 2023, Proliance Surgeons (“Proliance”) sent a Notice of Data Breach Letter (“Breach Letter”) via mail to potential victims of the Proliance’s data breach. The Breach Letter informed affected individuals that their sensitive personal information, Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”), and Protected Health Information (“PHI”) may have been accessed and acquired by hackers on or around February 11, 2023.
On or about February 11, 2023 Proliance experienced a cyberattack that included the encryption of certain files on their network (the “Data Breach”). Following a forensic investigation by third-party cybersecurity professionals Proliance determined, on May 24, 2023 that files which contained PII and PHI were accessed by an unauthorized party during this breach. By September 22, 2023 Proliance had determined the individuals whose information was involved in the Data Breach, yet they waited until November 20, 2023, two full months later, to notify the victims. As a result of the Data Breach hackers obtained from Prolinace the victims’ names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial account information, medical information, diagnosis and treatment information, health insurance information, driver’s license information, phone numbers, email addresses, and usernames and passwords.

They annually provide care to a substantial patient population, serving more than 800,000 individuals. Proliance Surgeons is also a significant employer, with a workforce comprising over 2,797 employees, and it generates approximately $410 million in revenue each year.
The exact number of affected individuals has not yet been determined. However, it is highly likely that a substantial number, potentially in the hundreds of thousands, may have had their information exposed. If you have received a Breach Letter from the Proliance Data Breach, it indicates that you were indeed affected by the data breach.
