Abington Cole + Ellery is investigating the recently announced HMG Healthcare data breach.
In November 2023, HMG Healthcare discovered a security incident involving unauthorized access to personal health information of individuals associated with HMG Healthcare's nursing facilities, both residents and staff. The breach occurred when cyber intruders infiltrated HMG Healthcare's servers and extracted unencrypted files.
