Mid Florida Dermatology & Plastic Surgery Data Breach Affects 85K Patients
Mid Florida Dermatology & Plastic Surgery has disclosed a data breach affecting approximately 85,000 patients, part of a wave of healthcare breach announcements that also includes Kannarr Eye Care in Kansas and Indiana University.
Why this matters: Medical records are among the most personal data anyone holds. Skin conditions, plastic surgery history, eye care — these are things people do not share freely. When a dermatology or plastic surgery practice gets breached, 85,000 patients lose control of health details they may never have wanted anyone to see. Healthcare providers collect this data because they have to. That does not make the security optional. The question is always what protections were in place before the breach, not after.
