OrthoMinds data breach class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Areli Villasenor filed a class action lawsuit against OrthoMinds LLC.
- Why: Villasenor claims OrthoMinds failed to properly secure and safeguard the personally identifiable information and protected health information of its customers and former customers.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in Georgia federal court.
A new class action lawsuit alleges OrthoMinds LLC failed to properly secure and safeguard the personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) of its customers and former customers during a November 2024 data breach.
Plaintiff Areli Villasenor claims the PII and PHI of Orthominds’ customers and former customers was disclosed to cybercriminals during a data breach that occurred between Nov. 17 and Nov. 27, 2024.
“Plaintiff and Class Members are current and former customers of Defendant’s clients who were and are required to entrust Defendant with their sensitive, non-public Private Information,” the OrthoMinds class action says.
Villasenor wants to represent a nationwide class of individuals in the United States whose PII and PHI may have been compromised in the data breach, including all persons who received a notice letter from OrthoMinds.
OrthoMinds failed to notify affected individuals of data breach for over 4 months, class action says
Villasenor claims OrthoMinds failed to notify affected individuals that their PII and PHI was compromised until March 20, 2025 — more than four months after the data breach occurred.
The complaint further argues OrthoMinds was negligent for failing to adequately protect the PII and PHI and failing to even encrypt or redact the highly sensitive data.
“This unencrypted, unredacted Private Information was compromised due to Defendant’s negligent and/or careless acts and omissions and its utter failure to protect consumers’ sensitive data,” the OrthoMinds class action says.
Villasenor accuses OrthoMinds of negligence, unjust enrichment, invasion of privacy and breach of third-party beneficiary contract.
The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of compensatory, actual, exemplary and punitive damages for herself and all class members.
Consumers whose PII was compromised during a data breach within the past six months may be able to pursue legal action and collect damages sustained.
