| 2025-07-26 03:27 DATA BREACH
Executive Summary
AI-generated
A medical practice in Huntington, New York exposed the personal details of 40,000 patients after a digital data repository containing records from Cohen Bergman Klepper Romano Mds PC was left publicly accessible. The breach is believed to have originated from an unsecured rsync port within IT systems, which allowed anyone with access to the server's IP address to view sensitive information such as patient names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, insurance information, and medical notes. The incident highlights the importance of securing digital assets in smaller organizations like medical practices that generate sensitive data.
Technical Mitigations AI-generated
• Patch rsync server to enable "hosts allow/deny" functions and restrict access to specific IP addresses.
• Configure backupwscohen partition to be non-publicly accessible, using directory permissions or other security measures.
