Rendon Center for Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine Reports Data Breach

On February 26, 2025, Rendon Center for Dermatology & Aesthetic Medicine, based in in Boca Raton, Florida, discovered suspicious activity on its computer systems. Working with its management company, DermCare Management, the center quickly secured its network and launched an investigation.

By March 3, 2025, it was determined that an unauthorized actor may have copied certain patient information from the network. At this time, the full review of affected files is ongoing, and the exact number of impacted individuals has not been disclosed.

However, the types of information potentially exposed are significant and include Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, medical information, and health insurance information. This means both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) may have been compromised.

The breach appears to have involved unauthorized access and exfiltration of data, but there is currently no evidence of identity theft or fraud resulting from this incident. Not all patients are affected, and the specific information exposed varies by individual.
