The Vascular Center of Intervention

Profile narrative

The Vascular Center of Intervention provides vascular intervention services to patients. The organization is headquartered in the United States of America. As part of its operations, it collects and maintains patient medical histories, treatment details, and personally identifiable information. This information is essential for delivering care and coordinating follow‑up services.

The center’s name indicates a specialized focus on vascular intervention, distinguishing it from broader healthcare facilities. This specialization indicates a concentration on procedures aimed at treating arterial and venous conditions. Consequently, the organization bears responsibility for protecting sensitive health data entrusted to it by patients. The 2023 security breach revealed shortcomings in its ability to safeguard that information.

On February 25, 2023, the Vascular Center of Intervention experienced a network security incident involving unauthorized access and exfiltration of approximately 200 gigabytes of patient data. The BianLian cyber extortion group claimed responsibility for the attack and later posted the stolen information on its leak site. The compromised data included medical histories, treatment details, and personally identifiable identifiers such as Social Security Numbers. In response, the organization offered affected patients credit monitoring services to help mitigate potential harm.
