Fairfax Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Data Breach

If so, your sensitive personal identifiable information may have been stolen!

Fairfax Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (“FOMS”) is based in Fairfax, Virginia. Recently FOMS sent out notice letters notifying individuals that their personal information had been compromised in a breach of the FOMS computer network. The information stolen by hackers may include patient names, driver’s license numbers, health insurance information and private medical history.   

This security incident exposed the sensitive information of 206,944 people affiliated with FOMS.  Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. Healthcare companies in particular are being increasingly targeted by bad actors looking to steal data for financial gain.  A health record is worth far more money on the dark web than even credit card numbers and Social Security numbers.
