What happened
Bronsky Orthodontics, the practice operated by Mark J. Bronsky, DMD, MS, P.C., has reported a data security incident involving unauthorized access to employee email accounts. According to the practice, an unauthorized party had access to the email environment between August 18 and October 16, 2025. The activity was detected on October 16, 2025, and the practice secured the email environment the same day. The incident was reported to regulators, including the Massachusetts Attorney General and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
After discovering the activity, the practice engaged outside cybersecurity specialists and conducted a detailed review of the affected email accounts. That review determined that credit or debit card numbers located in the compromised accounts may have been accessed. Bronsky Orthodontics began mailing notification letters on June 29, 2026, roughly eight months after the incident was discovered. The notice references security guidance for affected patients but does not indicate that complimentary credit monitoring was offered.
Because payment card information may have been involved, affected patients face a potential risk of fraudulent charges and related financial harm. Dapeer Law is evaluating whether affected individuals may have claims arising from how the information was stored and secured, and from the length of time between discovery and notification.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your notice, dated June 29, 2026, is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit. Keep the letter and the envelope together in a safe place.
Place a fraud alert or security freeze
Bronsky Orthodontics did not offer complimentary credit monitoring in its notice. Consider placing a free fraud alert or security freeze with the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). Taking these protective steps does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide. Because credit or debit card numbers may have been involved, review your card and bank statements closely for unfamiliar charges and report them to your card issuer or bank promptly.
