All-Star Orthopaedics informed people that a hard drive containing patient data had been taken, but as of right now, there is no proof that the confidential material has been viewed or misused.
A hard drive containing x-rays and other diagnostic images was stolen, the organization found out.
Even though the data on the hard drive is not encrypted, special software is required to access it.
X-rays and other diagnostic images can be found on the stolen hard drive.
The patient names and birthdates are present in the image files upon opening.
The photographs on the hard drive don't contain any more data.
As a precaution, All-Star Orthopaedics is warning potentially impacted patients about the occurrence and has informed regulatory and criminal enforcement organizations.
