Onix Group Data Breach
The Onix Group LLC, a Pennsylvania-based real estate company that provides management and consulting services to a variety of businesses, experienced a cyber security incident that compromised between March 20 and March 27, 2023. Businesses impacted by the Onix data breach include healthcare providers such as Addiction Recovery Services, Cadia Healthcare, and Physician’s Mobile X-Ray.
The incident potentially impacted sensitive information including consumers’ names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth, as well as scheduling, billing, and clinical information. The data breach affected approximately 308k individuals, potentially putting them at risk of fraud or suspicious activity and misuse of their Private Information. Though the company experienced the breach in March of 2023, it did not inform impacted consumers until May 30, 2023.
Shub & Johns attorney filed a class action lawsuit against the Onix Group on June 15, 2023 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On July 19, 2023, the court granted Plaintiff’s motion to consolidate class action cases against Onix in relation to the data breach and appointed Shub & Johns attorney Benjamin F. Johns as Interim Lead Class Counsel. On September 15, 2023, Shub & Johns, along with co-counsel, filed a Consolidated Amended Complaint against Onix following consolidation.
