Dr. Jaime Schwartz, a celebrity plastic surgeon, is facing a class-action lawsuit from eight patients alleging negligence in maintaining cybersecurity. The patients claim that their personal information, including nude photos and sensitive medical data, was hacked and published online. Schwartz reportedly failed to notify them of the breaches for almost 10 months, which has heightened concerns over identity theft and privacy violations. The lawsuit indicates serious lapses in agency communication, as Schwartz allegedly did not inform the California attorney general or the Health and Human Services Agency about the breaches, further compounding patient distress.
Despite knowing that his patients' most private medical data was in the hands of malicious actors, Dr. Schwartz waited almost 10 months to notify them.
Schwartz allegedly failed to notify patients of either the initial September 2023 hack or a subsequent one in March 2024 in a timely or appropriate manner.
