Description
Florida Physician Specialists learned of a cybersecurity incident between November 27 and 29, 2025, when it discovered that its network had been hacked during that period. An investigation was launched in late November 2025 to determine the scope of the breach, and it confirmed that an unauthorized third party had gained access to the network. The review of the data that had been exposed was completed on April 6, 2026, after which the practice proceeded with notification procedures.
The exposed information included full names combined with one or more of the following data elements: Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers or state identification numbers, other government identification numbers, financial account information, credit or debit card information, medical information, and health insurance policy information. Individuals who received a data breach notification from Florida Physician Specialists were advised that they may face an increased risk of identity theft and fraud as a result of the exposure.
In response to the incident, the national class action law firm Edelson Lechtzin LLP announced on May 3, 2026 that it was investigating data privacy claims arising from the breach and offering free case evaluations to affected individuals. The firm, which maintains offices in Pennsylvania and California and handles a range of litigation including data breach cases, securities and investment fraud, federal antitrust violations, ERISA employee benefit plans, wage theft, and consumer fraud, provided contact information for Marc Edelson, Esq., at its Newtown, Pennsylvania office.
