New Age Dermatology LLC recently disclosed a ransomware-related cybersecurity incident that impacted its internal server. The December 2025 breach may have exposed sensitive personal and protected health information, including Social Security numbers and medical records.
New Age Dermatology LLC’s Data Breach Investigation
New Age Dermatology LLC announced that on or about December 30, 2025, it identified a cybersecurity incident involving ransomware that affected its internal server. Ransomware attacks typically involve unauthorized actors infiltrating a network, encrypting systems, and sometimes copying sensitive data. Healthcare providers are frequent targets due to the valuable personal and medical information they maintain.
Upon discovering the incident, New Age Dermatology stated that it immediately took steps to secure its systems. The practice engaged cybersecurity professionals to investigate the event and determine the scope of the compromise. Law enforcement was also notified, which is a standard protocol when responding to ransomware attacks and potential criminal data theft.
According to the organization, there is currently no evidence that its electronic health record (EHR) system was compromised. Additionally, the practice reported that it has not found evidence suggesting that any of the potentially affected information has been misused. However, the impacted server remains inoperable and inaccessible, and the investigation has not yet determined what specific information may have been involved for each individual.
This uncertainty can be especially concerning for patients. When a server is encrypted or otherwise rendered inaccessible by ransomware, determining precisely what data was stored on it and whether that data was accessed or copied can be a lengthy process. Even if misuse has not been confirmed, the exposure of sensitive medical and personal information can create long-term risks.
The information potentially impacted may include personal and protected health information typically maintained in a patient medical record. Healthcare data is particularly sensitive because it often contains a combination of identifying details and confidential medical information. Cybercriminals may use such information to commit identity theft, insurance fraud, or medical identity fraud, which can lead to inaccurate medical records and financial loss.
In response to the breach, New Age Dermatology reported that it is working to improve its security measures and has engaged cybersecurity and security personnel to review its operations. Strengthening network defenses following a ransomware incident is critical to preventing similar events in the future.
The practice is also offering identity theft protection services through IDX, a data breach and recovery services provider. The offered services include 12 months of credit monitoring, CyberScan monitoring, a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy, and fully managed identity theft recovery services. These protections are intended to assist individuals if their identities are compromised.
While complimentary identity protection services can help detect and respond to suspicious activity, they do not eliminate the risk that sensitive personal or medical information may have been exposed. When healthcare providers collect and store patient data, they assume a responsibility to safeguard that information using reasonable cybersecurity measures. If those safeguards fail, affected individuals may have legal rights.
