Federman & Sherwood Investigates Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A. for Data Breach

The law firm of Federman & Sherwood has initiated an investigation into Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A. with respect to their recent data breach. On March 5, 2024, Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A. detected it was the target of a cybersecurity attack whereby an unauthorized third party gained access and left a ransom note on Affiliated Dermatologists & Dermatologic Surgeons P.A.’s network.
