In October 2021, VPN Solutions experienced a cyberattack that targeted its role as a business associate managing electronic medical records for Arlington Skin via the Allscripts platform. The breach potentially exposed names, addresses, dates of birth, diagnostic and treatment details, health insurance data, and Social Security numbers of patients. Although a forensic investigation found no evidence that data was actually exfiltrated, the company notified more than 17,000 affected individuals as a precaution. Those individuals were offered complimentary fraud assistance and remediation services. The incident highlighted the importance of VPN Solutions’ security controls when handling protected health information.
