Last week, New York federal judge Vincent L. Bricetti dismissed a data breach class action against Northeast Radiology PC (northeast) and Alliance HealthCare Services (Alliance) because the plaintiffs failed to allege a cognizable injury.
In July 2021, Jose Aponte II and Lisa Rosenberg filed suit alleging that Northeast and Alliance failed to protect their sensitive health data from unauthorized access. The complaint alleged that more than 1.2 million patients’ medical records were exposed, including more than 60 million X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, medical test results, diagnoses, Social Security numbers, names, and addresses.
