Cybersecurity Breach Exposes Sensitive Data of Nearly 13,000 New Jersey Patients
A cybersecurity breach at Greenbaum Rowe Smith & Davis LLP, a New Jersey-based law firm serving healthcare providers, has compromised the personal and medical information of approximately 12,800 patients. The incident, discovered after suspicious activity was detected within the firm’s network, involved unauthorized access to files containing protected health data.
Affected records may include names, Social Security numbers, medical details, and health insurance information, though the firm has not confirmed whether all categories of data were exposed for every individual. The breach impacts patients linked to multiple major New Jersey health systems, prompting notifications and free identity protection services for those affected.
Healthcare remains a prime target for cybercriminals due to the high value of medical and personal data. The law firm’s forensic investigation is ongoing, with no public indication of how the breach occurred or whether the exposed data has been misused. This incident adds to a growing trend of cyberattacks targeting legal and healthcare sectors in the region.
