Regulator's decision — not a breach notification

This record is a regulator's decision, not the organisation's own breach notice. Breach-notification fields (discovery date, notification clock) are structurally absent — what this source establishes is the outcome and the provisions the decision cites.

HHS OCR settled with Plastic Surgery Associates of South Dakota for $500,000 following a 2017 ransomware attack. The breach affected 10,229 individuals via brute force attacks on remote desktop protocol. The settlement addresses failures in risk analysis, security measures, and incident response.

Evidence ladder

Leak-site claim

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.

Press / market report

Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.

State AG / regulator filingThis record

Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.

SEC 8-K / victim statement

Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.

Source ceiling

  • instrument + outcome
  • amount as filed (USD)
  • CFR provisions
  • the breach it recites
  • discovery date
  • notification clock

The dates the agreement recites belong to the underlying breach, years earlier, and are kept as evidence of WHICH breach rather than as this record’s timeline.
