About U.S. Dermatology Partners
U.S. Dermatology Partners is a large physician-owned dermatology practice based in Dallas, Texas. With over 100 locations across eight states—including Texas, Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Virginia—the company serves more than two million patients annually.
Their network includes over 200 board-certified dermatologists and a staff of nearly 300 employees.
What was the June 2024 Ransomware Attack?
On June 19, 2024, U.S. Dermatology Partners experienced a significant network disruption caused by a ransomware attack. The cybercriminal group BlackBasta claimed responsibility, stating they accessed the company’s data and threatened to publish it on the dark web. The breach was posted on a tor network on July 15, 2024.
An investigation, assisted by external forensic experts, revealed that an unauthorized party accessed the company’s network and transferred certain files externally. After a comprehensive review completed in April 2025, it was determined that its patient's sensitive information was exposed.
U.S. Dermatology Partners began mailing notification letters to affected patients on May 30, 2025. The company is offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services to those whose Social Security or driver’s license numbers were involved.
What Types of Information were Exposed?
Not all individuals affected had the same types of data exposed.
Affected individuals had at least one of the following data types exposed:
- Names
