SSK Plastic Surgery Data Breach Lawsuit

SSK Plastic Surgery Data Breach Details

An unknown intruder gained unauthorized access to SSK Plastic Surgery systems in an attempt to extort the company. Upon discovering the intrusion, SSK immediately notified law enforcement, took action to contain the breach, and engaged cybersecurity experts to investigate.

Through its investigation, SSK confirmed that an unauthorized third party may have accessed sensitive client information between March 20, 2024, and July 24, 2024. The breach involved a limited number of documents that may have contained names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and, in some cases, health-related information, including consultation images. A small number of Social Security numbers and driver’s license details were also potentially exposed. While SSK believes the intruder was primarily seeking financial gain rather than stealing personal data, the company is notifying affected individuals as a precaution.

In response to the breach the company is offering two years of complimentary identity monitoring services through Kroll, a global risk mitigation firm. Affected individuals are encouraged to monitor their financial accounts for suspicious activity and review the Federal Trade Commission’s identity theft protection guidelines.

What Information Was Compromised?

The compromised data may include:

Names
Dates of birth
Social Security numbers
Financial Information
Addresses
Phone numbers
Email addresses
Health-related information, including consultation images

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from SSK Plastic Surgery, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before the notice arrives.

Steps to Take if You Were Affected by the SSK Plastic Surgery Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as SSK Plastic Surgery. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify communications directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to detect suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary if applying for credit.
