Southland Integrated Services, Inc.

Southland Integrated Services, Inc. (SIS), a healthcare provider based in Santa Ana, California, experienced a data breach after an unauthorized party gained access to its computer network. The breach occurred between October 16, 2023, and October 18, 2023, and was detected due to suspicious activity within SIS’s computer systems[1][6].

The compromised information includes names, addresses, dates of birth, vaccination status, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and financial account information[1]. SIS began sending out data breach notification letters to affected individuals on November 10, 2023, advising them of the breach and the steps they can take to protect themselves from potential fraud or identity theft[1][4].

SIS has taken measures to secure its systems and prevent future incidents by implementing additional safeguards and monitoring. They are also offering identity theft protection services through IDX, which includes credit and CyberScan monitoring, a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy, and fully managed identity theft recovery services[4].

Victims of the breach are encouraged to enroll in the free identity protection services offered by SIS, monitor their account statements and credit reports for signs of unauthorized activity, and consider placing a fraud alert on their credit files[4].

Southland Integrated Services is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) clinic that provides a variety of health and social services, including primary care, behavioral health, and dental services. It employs more than 65 people and generates approximately $5 million in annual revenue[1].

For those affected by the breach, legal options may be available, and data breach lawyers are prepared to discuss potential damages and compensation[6]. The breach has been reported to the Attorney General of California, and while the exact number of affected individuals is not specified, the incident is under investigation[1][10].
