What Happened?

True Dental Care For Kids & Adults LLC, a Jersey City dental practice, detected unauthorized activity on its network on February 3, 2025. A threat actor infiltrated the system, deployed a virus that encrypted files, and viewed sensitive patient information in the process. Rather than pay ransom, True Dental hired a forensic cybersecurity firm to restore operations and strengthen its defenses.

What Information Was Compromised?

The practice has confirmed the attacker had access to a combination of personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI), including:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Dates of birth
• Home addresses & phone numbers
• Government-issued identification numbers
• Dental and medical records
• Financial or insurance information

Risks to Affected Patients

Even if no misuse has been reported yet, exposure of this data creates a long-term risk of:

• Identity theft and tax fraud
• Unauthorized medical or dental billing
• Insurance fraud
• Phishing or social-engineering attacks

Because Social Security numbers and medical details rarely change, they hold significant street value and can circulate on the dark web for years.

Protect Yourself Now

Take the following immediate steps:

1. Place a fraud alert or freeze with all three credit bureaus.
2. Monitor bank, credit-card, and insurance statements for unfamiliar activity.
3. Reset passwords—especially any accounts sharing the same credentials used at the dental office.
4. Watch for phishing emails claiming to be from True Dental or your insurers.
5. Consider identity-theft protection and dark-web monitoring services.

Legal Options & Potential Compensation

Under state and federal privacy laws, healthcare providers must safeguard patient data. When they fail, victims may pursue damages for:

• Out-of-pocket expenses (credit monitoring, freezing fees, notarizing affidavits)
• Time spent mitigating fraud
• Emotional distress
• Future identity-theft risk

The investigation seeks to determine whether True Dental Care’s security practices complied with HIPAA and industry standards. If negligence is proven, impacted patients could obtain cash benefits, free identity-theft protection, or both.
