Data Breach Summary
Keys Pathology Associates, PA has informed its patients of a recent data security incident caused by a breach at Genesis Billing Services, Inc. (“Genesis”), a third-party vendor responsible for hosting patient data on a server for billing purposes. The company clarified that while no evidence has been found that any exposed information was misused, the breach could have compromised some personal data, and patients are being notified out of an abundance of caution.
The breach occurred around May 20, 2025, when an unauthorized actor gained access to the server used by Genesis, which was hosting Keys Pathology’s patient data. Genesis reported that the attacker downloaded files and encrypted the system, locking Genesis out of its own files. The breach was discovered by Keys Pathology on May 27, 2025, after Genesis notified the company of the security incident.
After conducting a thorough investigation, Keys Pathology confirmed that some personal information may have been exposed as a result of this breach. While the company assured that its own systems were not affected, the breach occurred through Genesis’s third-party server.
As part of its response, Keys Pathology is offering affected individuals free credit monitoring and fraud assistance services. These services, provided by Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, include:
Single Bureau Credit Monitoring: Alerts about any changes to your credit file.
Single Bureau Credit Report and Score: Access to your credit report and score.
Fraud Assistance Services: Support in case of suspected fraud or identity theft.
These services will be provided free of charge for the duration of the service period, starting from the date of enrollment
According to the investigation, the information that could have been exposed includes:
Full Name
Address
Date of Birth
Phone Number
Social Security Number
Driver’s License Number
Health Information
However, no financial account, credit card, or debit card information was involved. The breach appears to have impacted only data hosted by Genesis on behalf of Keys Pathology, and not the company’s internal systems.
While Keys Pathology Associates is offering free identity protection services, there are additional steps you can take to further secure your personal information:
Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check your financial accounts, health insurance statements, and medical records for any signs of unusual activity.
