The incident is thought to have originated when an unauthorized individual accessed Janna’s email server.

What Happened at Janna Pharmacy?

At the time of writing, there are very few details regarding the Janna Pharmacy data breach incident. We are following the ongoing investigation, and more information should soon emerge as the company is required to contact all impacted individuals. We do know that as many as 26,000 individuals may have had their personal data compromised in some manner.

Unfortunately, this kind of privacy violation has become very common. Millions of consumers have had their data leaked at pharmacies and other healthcare organizations this year. As a result, several class action data theft lawsuits have been filed against defendants that have failed to protect sensitive personally identifiable (PII) and personal health information (PHI) belonging to patients, staff members, and consumers.

Our attorneys believe that any company that collects and stores your personal information has a legal and ethical duty to protect it with a robust IT security infrastructure. If they fail to protect your data, and it ends up in the hands of cybercriminals, they may be held liable for IT security negligence.

Call now for a free consultation, and to consider filing a class action data breach lawsuit. We may be able to recover financial losses, compensate victims, and hold any irresponsible defendant accountable for any damages that occur.
