Longs Peak Family Practice, a medical clinic in Longmont, suffered a data breach that was discovered in November and might have compromised patients’ personal information.
Boulder law firm Caplan & Earnest on Wednesday issued a news release on behalf of the medical clinic that a forensic investigator discovered evidence of three instances of unauthorized access to the clinic’s computer network in November.
The law firm and clinic couldn’t be reached for comment on Wednesday evening. The news release has been posted on the clinic’s website.
The news release stated that there is no evidence that patient information was removed or accessed, but it is possible the hackers downloaded the information.
The breach did not compromise credit card, billing or bank account information. However, patients’ names, birth dates, patient identification numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, insurance carrier, insurance payment codes with associated costs, driver’s license numbers and dates of service might have been stolen.
