Asheville Eye Associates and Delta County Memorial Hospital District last week disclosed separate data breaches that impacted hundreds of thousands of individuals.
On Friday, Asheville Eye Associates said the personal and medical information of a subset of its patients was compromised as a result of a cybersecurity incident.
The potentially compromised information, the North Carolina eye care center said, includes names, addresses, medical treatment information, and health insurance information. The incident did not impact Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, or financial information.
“While the investigation has not identified any instances of fraud or identity theft that have occurred as a result of this incident, AEA recommends that individuals review any statements they receive from their health care providers or health insurers to ensure their accuracy,” the eye care provider said.
