Data Breach Summary
Absolute Dental has issued a notification to affected individuals, alerting them to a recent security incident that may have exposed some of their sensitive personal information. The breach occurred between February 19, 2025, and March 5, 2025, following an unauthorized access event linked to a third-party managed services provider.
On February 26, 2025, Absolute Dental became aware of potential suspicious activity in its information systems. After immediately securing their systems and launching an internal investigation, Absolute Dental enlisted third-party forensic investigators to assist in assessing the extent of the incident. The investigation revealed that the unauthorized access originated from the inadvertent execution of a malicious version of a legitimate software tool, which was triggered through an account tied to Absolute Dental’s third-party service provider.
Out of an abundance of caution, Absolute Dental has also partnered with Kroll to provide affected individuals with two years of free identity monitoring services.
The company’s assessment, concluded on July 28, 2025, indicated that some sensitive personal information of individuals, including those affected, may have been compromised during the incident. While the full scope of the exposed data has not been disclosed, individuals impacted may have had their name, contact information, and potentially other sensitive details accessed.
