Radiology Associates of Richmond has disclosed a data breach impacting protected health and personal information. 

Radiology Associates of Richmond has disclosed a data breach affecting more than 1.4 million individuals.

A data security incident notice posted on its website reveals that the healthcare organization’s systems were accessed by hackers for a period of several days in April 2024. 

More than one year later, Radiology Associates of Richmond determined that the compromised systems had stored files containing identifiable protected health and personal information.

The organization does not have any evidence that the information has been misused and it’s only offering complementary credit monitoring services to patients whose Social Security number was included in the exposed files.

Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, Radiology Associates of Richmond provides medical imaging services at several hospitals, freestanding emergency centers, and outpatient imaging centers in central Virginia.

The healthcare data breach tracker of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) showed on Thursday that the incident has impacted 1,419,091 people.
