Utah Pathology Services

The organization is known by the aliases Utah Pathology Services, Utah Pathology, and UP. Its headquarters is situated in the United States of America. It came to public attention due to a cybersecurity incident that occurred on June 30, 2020.

On that date, an unauthorized third party attempted to redirect funds through a compromised email account associated with the organization. The attempt did not result in any completed financial transactions. The incident was identified and subsequently investigated.

The investigation revealed that the compromised email account potentially exposed sensitive patient information. This information included names paired with dates of birth, contact details, insurance identifiers, and medical data related to pathology services. For a small subset of individuals, Social Security numbers were also potentially accessed. Over 110,000 individuals were affected by the breach, although no misuse of the compromised information was confirmed following the investigation.

In response, the organization secured the impacted email account and engaged forensic experts to assess the scope and nature of the breach. Patient notifications were initiated as a precautionary measure to inform those who may have been affected. The incident was reported by databreaches.net, which detailed the breach and the notification efforts. The organization provides pathology services.
