TIL A data breach at OakBend Medical Center in Richmond exposed 1 million patients’ personal info, including SSNs. Check your credit!

I didn’t get any notification from this medical provider of mine. But it turns out I’m a victim. Check your credit reports! https://www.hipaajournal.com/lawsuits-filed-against-oakbend-medical-center-and-keystone-health-over-data-breaches/

The breach this fall got minimal media coverage, and the medical provider did nothing to contact me. I only found out about it when I got a notification from Capital One that my credit card application had been received (I didn’t apply for a Capital One card).

I paid a service to scan the dark web, and lo and behold, it revealed my Social Security Number was released as part of this medical provider’s data breach this fall.
