College of Dentistry Privacy Breach

The University of Florida's Privacy Office was notified on October 3, 2008 that a university data system was illegally accessed by an intruder. This data system contains certain unencrypted personal information about University of Florida dental patients. With the incident's discovery, we initiated a security investigation. The FBI was also notified about the breach and is conducting its own investigation. Both investigations are ongoing.

If you have questions about this incident and its implications, please call the College of Dentistry's Clinic Administration at (352) 273-6820. Our aim is to provide patients with answers to their questions quickly and efficiently.
