Notification letters were recently mailed to individuals affected by the incident.
Conceptions Reproductive Associates of Colorado has reported that 80,000 individuals were impacted by their recent data breach. The compromised data could potentially include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, medical record numbers, diagnoses, lab results, medications, treatment details, health insurance information, provider names, treatment dates, and financial data.
Conceptions Reproductive Associates of Colorado’s recent data breach is a serious matter that could inflict far-reaching consequences for those affected. The exposure of personally identifiable information, especially names and Social Security numbers, poses a significant risk of identity theft, such as criminals opening financial accounts, taking out loans, filing fraudulent tax returns, and obtaining government services in the victim’s name. Personally identifiable information can also be exposed on the Dark Web, which poses a serious threat toward the privacy and safety of many individuals. According to a recent FTC survey, the total cost of identity theft is nearly $50 billion per year, with victims losing an average of nearly $5,000 from the misuse of their personal and financial information. The exposure of protected medical information can pose an even greater danger of identity theft—such as obtaining medical services in the victim’s name, which will be charged to the victim.
Current and former patients and employees of Conceptions Reproductive Associates of Colorado have been exposed to a heightened risk of fraud and identity theft and must now closely monitor your financial accounts. You could be at risk of incurring additional out-of-pocket costs for purchasing credit monitoring services, credit freezes, credit reports, or other protective measures to deter and detect identity theft.
