Practice Resources provided notice of the data breach last month, following the April cyberattack that may have compromised patient names, addresses, dates of treatment, health plan numbers and medical record numbers.

Practice Resources mailed out 950,000 letters to patients. Law firm Migliaccio & Rathod filed the suit against Practice Resources. 

The suit still needs to be certified by a court to proceed.
