Alpine Ear, Nose, & Throat and P.C.: Alpine Ear, Nose, & Throat, P.C. Data Breach Alert Issued By Wolf Haldenstein

Alpine ENT Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Patient Information

On February 9, 2026, Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP, a national consumer rights law firm, announced an investigation into a data breach at Alpine Ear, Nose, & Throat, P.C. (Alpine), a medical practice based in Fort Collins, Colorado. The breach, which occurred in November 2024, may have compromised the personal and medical data of affected individuals.

Alpine disclosed that stolen information could include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, financial account details, medical records, and health insurance information.

The incident highlights ongoing risks to healthcare data security, with sensitive patient information remaining a prime target for cybercriminals.
