Body by Ravi Surgery & Aesthetics - Notice of Data Privacy Event
Thursday, October 8, 2020
HOUSTON, Oct. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics ("BBR") today is providing information about a recent event that may impact the privacy of some personal data related to current and former patients.
What Happened? On August 6, 2020, BBR became aware of suspicious activity on its computer network. BBR immediately launched an investigation, with the assistance of third-party computer forensic specialists, and determined that its network had been infected with malware which prevented access to certain files on the system. The investigation determined that the malware was introduced into the system by an unauthorized actor who also accessed and acquired certain files within BBR's system. The potential unauthorized access occurred between July 27, 2020 and August 6, 2020. BBR then began a lengthy and labor-intensive process to identify sensitive information that may have been contained within impacted files, and to identify the individuals whose information may have been impacted. That review completed on September 24, 2020.
What Information Was Involved? The information contained within the files at issue varied by individual, but contained name, address, phone number, date of birth, driver's license number, payment card information, medical information, treatment information, diagnosis information, medication details, Social Security Number, health insurance information, and photograph. We have no evidence any information was subject to actual or attempted misuse.
What BBR Is Doing. BBR takes this incident and the security of personal information seriously. Upon discovery, BBR immediately launched an investigation and took steps to secure its systems and investigate activity. BBR worked diligently to investigate and respond to this incident and to identify and notify potentially impacted individuals. BBR is also reviewing and enhancing existing policies, procedures, and processes related to storage of and access to personal information. BBR is also reporting this incident to relevant state and federal regulators as required. BBR is notifying potentially impacted individuals so that they may take further steps to best protect their information, should they feel it is appropriate to do so. BBR is also providing credit monitoring for potentially affected individuals.
