OB-GYN Associates & Beverly Hills Oncology Medical Group Issue Breach Notifications

OB-GYN Associates in Nevada and Beverly Hills Oncology Medical Group in California have recently started notifying patients affected by hacking incidents.

OB-GYN Associates, Nevada

OB-GYN Associates, a women’s health clinic in Reno, Nevada, has recently mailed notification letters to 62,238 individuals warning them that some of their protected health information has been exposed in a recent security incident. On or around August 7, 2025, suspicious activity was identified within its IT environment. Third-party cybersecurity experts were engaged to investigate the activity and confirmed that there had been unauthorized access to parts of its network where patient data was stored.

The review of the affected data was completed on September 29, 2025. While no evidence of data misuse has been identified, patients have been informed that their first and last names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and medical information have been exposed and may have been stolen. As a precaution against data misuse, the affected individuals have been offered complimentary single-bureau credit monitoring, credit reporting, and credit score services. Data security policies and procedures have been reviewed and updated, network security protections have been upgraded, and changes have been made to how data is stored and managed to protect against similar incidents in the future. The Inc Ransom ransomware group claimed responsibility for the attack
