About American Associated Pharmacies
American Associated Pharmacies (AAP) is a member-owned cooperative helping over 2,000 independent U.S. pharmacies stay competitive through purchasing and business support.
What happened?
On or about October 23, 2024, AAP detected file encryption and other suspicious activity within its computer network. The organization immediately secured its systems and initiated an investigation. It was later determined that hackers had gained access approximately ten days earlier, on October 13, 2024.
Before the encryption, the attackers removed files from AAP’s network that may have contained sensitive personal information. The data potentially exposed includes names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, driver’s license or other government-issued identification numbers, bank account and routing numbers, medical and clinical treatment details, provider names, medical record numbers, health insurance information, prescription data, and, in some cases, usernames and passwords.
How can I protect my personal data?
If you receive a data breach notification regarding AAP, you should take steps to protect yourself against identity theft and fraud. Such measures include regularly reviewing your account statements and monitoring your credit reports for any suspicious or unauthorized activity.
Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating a class action lawsuit to seek legal remedies for individuals whose sensitive personal data may have been compromised by the AAP data breach.
