New Jersey Law Firm Breach Exposes Nearly 13,000 Patients’ Sensitive Data A cybersecurity breach at New Jersey-based law firm Greenbaum Rowe Smith & Davis LLP has compromised the personal and medical information of approximately 12,800 patients across multiple major health systems. The incident, discovered after suspicious activity was detected within the firm’s network, exposed data tied to Atlantic Health System, Hackensack Meridian Health, and Trinitas Regional Medical Center. The unauthorized access involved files containing protected health information (PHI), which may include names, Social Security numbers, medical records, and health insurance details, though not all data categories were necessarily exposed for every individual. The firm has begun notifying affected patients and is offering free identity theft protection and credit monitoring through IDX, along with a dedicated assistance line for inquiries.

Investigations into the breach are ongoing, with no public evidence yet of misuse of the exposed information. The incident adds to a growing list of New Jersey healthcare breaches under review by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights.
