Summit Pathology Laboratories notified 1.8 million patients of a breach. Less than 48 hours later, they were sued.

Summit Pathology experienced a significant data breach affecting over 1.8 million patients, raising serious concerns about data security and patient privacy.

Karen Alexander, a plaintiff, expressed frustration with Summit's communication, as they sent breach notifications to her old address and refused to update her contact information.

While there are allegations surrounding the breach, such as potential HIPAA violations, the lack of concrete damages claimed by Alexander raises questions about the lawsuit's legitimacy.

The nature of the attack remains largely unexplained, prompting inquiries into Summit's security measures, such as whether multi-factor authentication was in place and how the breach occurred.
