Las Vegas-based Absolute Dental provided notice of a data incident involving its information systems.
The dental practice discovered that an unauthorized party accessed some of its systems between Feb. 19 and March 5, according to the notice.
Third-party forensic investigators determined that the access originated from the accidental execution of a malicious version of a legitimate software tool, which occurred through an account associated with Absolute Dental’s third-party managed service provider.
Personal information that may have been affected by the breach includes contact information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state-issued ID information, passport or other governmental ID information and health information.
The practice has more than 50 locations across Nevada, according to its website.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
