What Happened?

Pediatric Otolaryngology Head & Neck Surgery Associates, P.A., doing business as Pediatric Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists (“Pediatric ENT Specialists”), detected suspicious activity on its network on February 24, 2025.

  • Offered complimentary credit-monitoring services to impacted individuals
