Federman & Sherwood Investigates Farmingham Heart Study for Data Breach

Oklahoma City, OK (December 19, 2024) – The law firm of Federman & Sherwood has initiated an investigation into Farmingham Heart Study with respect to their recent data breach. On September 8, 2024, the Farmingham Heart Study became aware of unusual activity on a computer server used by the study and began actively investigating the incident. Farmingham Heart Study isolated the server to prevent further unauthorized activity and applied patches to the protected server environment to address the vulnerability. However, cyber- attackers were able to access the protected server environment and download files containing unencrypted study information before the system could be isolated. This unencrypted information includes the following: individuals name, Social Security number, address, date of birth, telephone number, email address, sex, race, ethnicity, self-reported broad income and occupational categories, signature and medical information.
