Federman & Sherwood Investigates Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A. for Data Breach

The law firm of Federman & Sherwood has initiated an investigation into Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A. with respect to their recent data breach. On March 5, 2024, Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A. detected it was the target of a cybersecurity attack whereby an unauthorized third party gained access and left a ransom note on Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A.’s network. Upon discovery of the incident, Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A. immediately disconnected access to the network, alerted its third-party IT provider, and conducted a forensic investigation into the nature and scope of the incident.
