DALLAS, TX – DJO, LLC (“DJO” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of medical technologies to get and keep people moving, was notified of an incident involving a former independent distributor, All Pro Sports (“All Pro”), and the potential disclosure of certain personal information of individuals who received a DJO® product in the central Florida area.
On or around August 17, 2020, DJO became aware that an email account of an All Pro employee may have been compromised as a result of a malicious phishing email scheme. As part of the attack, this email account was accessed and used to forward malicious emails to email addresses contained in the account.
The information potentially contained in such email communications could include name, address, email address, date of birth, physician name, product information, as well as other information related to the product prescription, and in limited circumstances, Medicare numbers.
All Pro confirmed to DJO that they took immediate and appropriate steps to address the situation. DJO has conducted a thorough investigation of the incident and determined that DJO’s email and other internal systems were not compromised. In addition, DJO engaged a leading IT forensic investigation firm to review and analyze the content of the former independent distributor’s email account.
