Patients were likely required to share their personal and sensitive information in order to receive their healthcare. In turn, these healthcare institutions owe a duty to protect this information. However, CaptureRx failed to honor this duty when it allegedly allowed cybercriminals to access the information in these sensitive files.
During this time, patients’ sensitive information has been exposed to cybercriminals and may soon be, it not already, fraudulently used. Attorneys at Finkelstein, Blankinship, Frei-Pearson & Garber, LLP have successfully recovered millions of dollars on behalf of data breach victims. We are currently investigating this matter, as well as other data breaches. If you believe that your information may have been unlawfully accessed, please contact us to discover your legal options.
