WHAT HAPPENED?
On April 17, 2021, unauthorized individuals gained access to PracticeMax’s network, which stored sensitive patient information.[1] Despite becoming aware of technical issues with its network on May 1, 2021, the unauthorized individuals were able to maintain access to the network until May 5, 2021.[2] Inexplicably, it appears PracticeMax did not inform law enforcement about the data breach until October 19, 2021.[3] It also waited until March 4, 2022 to begin the process of notifying all victims.[4]

Information compromised in the data breach includes:
- Names,
