What Happened?
Maternal Fetal Medicine Associates, PLLC, along with Carnegie Hill Imaging for Women and Carnegie Women’s Health, experienced a data breach that may have compromised the personal and medical data of current and former patients. Suspicious activity was first detected on September 16, 2024, when unauthorized access to their internal systems was discovered.
A forensic investigation later revealed that the unauthorized party had access to the practices’ network for more than six weeks, from July 30 to September 16, 2024. During that time, certain files were accessed or downloaded without permission.

The compromised files contained a range of sensitive personal and health-related information, including:
- Full name
