The Los Angeles Times reports:
A celebrity Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, who has appeared on television shows including “Botched” and “The Doctors,” is being sued by patients who allege that their nude photos were published online after he was hacked — twice — and that he waited months to inform them of the data breaches.
Eight patients filed a class-action lawsuit earlier this month alleging that Dr. Jaime Schwartz had failed to maintain adequate cybersecurity despite multiple warnings, resulting in highly sensitive information being stolen and posted online. The story was first reported by 404 media.
… “Despite knowing that his patients’ most private medical data was in the hands of malicious actors, Dr. Schwartz waited almost 10 months to notify them,” the complaint states. “Finally, after their nude photos and home addresses began being posted online — accessible to anyone with an internet connection — Dr. Schwartz issued a cursory, vague, and misleading data breach notice.”
