FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., September 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Edelson Lechtzin LLP, a law firm located in the Philadelphia suburbs, is currently conducting an investigation into potential data privacy violations stemming from a recent breach at Retina Florida MSO, LLC, operating as Retina Group of Florida. This incident was identified by the organization around November 9, 2024.
The Retina Group of Florida, which specializes in retinal and macular disorders, operates over 20 clinics statewide and has been a key player in the eye care industry since its founding in 1987. However, the company now faces scrutiny after detecting unauthorized access to its computer systems during a window from November 6 to November 9, 2024. Initial investigations reveal that sensitive personal information—including names and identifying details—may have been compromised, potentially affecting up to 153,429 individuals.
For those interested in discussing the implications of this incident or seeking legal advice, Edelson Lechtzin LLP is offering the opportunity to engage with their legal team. More information can be found through their designated communication channels.
In the context of cybersecurity, this breach raises essential questions regarding the attack methodologies utilized. While specific details of the tactics remain unclear at this point, several methodologies could be postulated from the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Initial access techniques, such as phishing or exploitation of vulnerable software, may have played a role in allowing attackers to penetrate Retina Group of Florida’s defenses. Following initial access, tactics could have included persistence techniques to maintain unauthorized access over time and privilege escalation to gain higher-level permissions within the network.
As the investigation unfolds, it is also critical for the affected individuals to take proactive measures against potential identity theft. Users are advised to regularly monitor their account statements and credit reports for any irregularities or unauthorized activities that may arise due to this breach.
