What Caused the Advanced Medical Management Breach?

The Advanced Medical Management data breach was only recently announced, and more information is expected in the near future. However, AMM’s filing with the Attorney General of Montana provides some important information on what led up to the breach. According to this source, on May 11, 2023, AMM detected unauthorized activity within its computer network. AMM notes that these systems were developed and maintained by third-party vendors.

In response, AMM notified law enforcement and then launched an investigation into the incident in hopes of learning more about its cause as well as whether any confidential information in the company’s possession was subject to unauthorized access.

The AMM investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party gained access to certain databases containing PHI between May 10, 2023, and May 13, 2023. It was later determined that some of the files that were accessible to the unauthorized party contained consumers’ personal information.

After learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, Advanced Medical Management reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include your name, Social Security number, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, driver’s license number, protected health information, and health insurance information.

On June 29, 2023, Advanced Medical Management sent out data breach letters to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident. These letters should provide victims with a list of which information of theirs was compromised.
