MARLTON,
N.J., April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Approximately 13.4 million consumers have been notified that their
sensitive information was compromised when Kaiser Foundation Health
Plan, Inc. used website technologies that shared patient
information with certain third-party vendors. The data breach
lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C. are investigating claims
on behalf of anyone affected by the Kaiser Permanente breach,
hoping to fully inform them of the risks they face in the wake of
the breach as well as their legal rights.
The sensitive personal data of 13,400,000 current and former
Kaiser customers has been compromised. Now, patients' names,
browsing habits and other information may be in the hands of
criminals, putting victims at a greater risk of identity theft and
other frauds.
On April 12, 2024, Kaiser
Permanente filed notice with the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services - Office for Civil Rights describing a data breach
affecting consumers nationwide.
According to the notice and several news sources reporting on
the incident, the data breach affected an estimated 13.4 million
people who previously used Kaiser's website or mobile apps.
The list of sensitive information that was exposed includes:
- Names,
- IP addresses,
- Sign-in statuses, and
- Browsing and navigation history while on Kaiser's websites and
mobile apps.

Social Security numbers or credit card information.
