Hollister Family Dental & Implant Center, a dental practice in Hollister, Calif., has provided notice of a data breach. 

In May, the practice became aware of a potential issue impacting its third-party appointment management platform, according to a notice from the practice submitted to the State of California Department of Justice Office of the Attorney General.

An investigation determined that between Feb. 12 and May 8, an unauthorized party accessed the platform with an online account associated with a Hollister Dental staff member.

Patient information that may have been accessed in the breach includes names, contact information, dates of birth and dental care-related information, the notice said.
