Notice of Privacy Incident
November 12, 2024
On February 26, 2024, we discovered suspicious activity related to an employee email account. Upon discovery, we took immediate action to address and investigate the incident, which included engaging third-party specialists to assist with determining the nature and scope of the incident. A thorough investigation determined that two employee email accounts were subject to unauthorized access from February 22, 2024 to March 19, 2024. We then began a thorough review of the contents of the accounts in order to determine the type(s) of information contained within the accounts and to whom that information related. Once this review was completed, we worked to obtain up-to-date address information in order to provide you with this notice. That process was completed on September 13, 2024, and we worked to provide potentially impacted individuals with this notification as soon as possible.
Immediately upon learning of this incident, Radiologic Medical Services took steps to secure our environment and undertook a thorough investigation.
