Class-action law firm Lynch Carpenter is investigating a recent data breach that took place at a Nevada dental practice.
Las Vegas-based Absolute Dental, which has more than 50 locations across the state, discovered that an unauthorized party accessed some of its systems between Feb. 19 and March 5.
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.
The breach impacted the personal information of more than one million individuals.
Lynch Carpenter said Sept. 3 that it is investigating claims against Absolute Dental related to the breach, adding that those affected may be entitled to compensation.
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.
