Palomar Health Medical Group (PHMG) announced its operations are fully restored after a cyber incident was detected on its network. After working with third-party cybersecurity experts, PHMG corrected the issue and successfully recovered data. Currently, all systems across the PHMG locations have been successfully restored and patients can schedule an appointment by calling their doctor's office.
During an investigation, it was determined that, although there was unauthorized access to some data, PHMG acted promptly and took measures to secure and protect their patients. Over the past two months, PHMG worked with its cybersecurity teams around the clock to recover and secure affected data. These comprehensive efforts ensured that affected data was recovered and removed from unauthorized locations.
Currently, PHMG is working diligently to continue its investigation through a detailed review of the affected data to identify whether any individuals had their personal or health information impacted by the incident. If so, PHMG will communicate directly with those impacted individuals as soon as more information is available.
