The Law Office of Stan M Doerrer, PLLC, working with co-counsel, is investigating a potential class action lawsuit consisting of consumer claims arising from a data breach reported by US Fertility. On November 26, 2020, US Fertility, one of the largest networks of fertility clinics in the United States, confirmed publicly that it had been hit by a ransomware attack in September, 2020, and that sensitive patient data may have been stolen. In its statement, it disclosed that hackers had “acquired a limited number of files,” but did not say how many. U.S. Fertility admitted, at that time, that patients’ personal information, like names and addresses, as well as social security numbers, were taken in the attack, and also warned that the attack may have involved protected health information.
