University Gastroenterology, LLC

University Gastroenterology was targeted by the ransomware attack after an unauthorized individual had gained access to an electronic file storage system, Consultants in Gastroenterology, and encrypted several files.

The compromised information included name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, and medical billing information.” Patients’ electronic medical records were not exposed and remained secure.

Each patient who was impacted by the security situation has received a letter from UGI.
