Central Ohio Urology Group

Central Ohio Urology Group is a healthcare organization that specializes in urology services. It operates as a provider of medical care for conditions affecting the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. The organization serves patients located in the Central Ohio region of the United States. Its offerings include diagnostic evaluations, medical management, and surgical interventions related to urological health. As a urology-focused practice, it concentrates on a specific medical specialty rather than providing broad general medicine. The organization’s headquarters is situated in the United States, though the exact city is not specified in the available sources.

In August 2016, the group experienced a significant cybersecurity incident when a hacker collective known as Pravvy Sector released over 150 gigabytes of data stolen from its systems. The leaked information comprised extensive patient records, including names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, medical treatments, and insurance details. Additionally, internal financial spreadsheets and human resources documents were exposed in the breach. The incident affected numerous individuals, with at least one elderly patient confirming the unauthorized disclosure of his personal information. Upon being notified, the affected patient expressed confusion about the nature of the disclosed data. The organization did not provide an initial response to requests for comment regarding the breach.
