Notice of Data Security Incident Marietta, Georgia April 2, 2024 Life University ("Life") is writing to inform you of a recent data security incident that may have resulted in unauthorized access to some individuals' sensitive personal information. While we are unaware of any fraudulent misuse of your personal information at this time, we are providing you with details about the incident, steps we are taking in response, and resources available to help you protect against the potential misuse of your information. What Happened? On July 30, 2024, Life experienced a network disruption that impacted the functionality and access of certain systems. Upon discovery of this incident, Life immediately disconnected all access to the network and promptly engaged a specialized third-party cybersecurity firm and IT personnel to assist with securing the environment as well as to conduct a comprehensive forensic investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident. The forensic investigation determined that that personal information may have been acquired by the threat actor. Based on these findings, Life decided to proceed with an analysis of the compromised data for any potential sensitive personal information ("PII") or protected health information ("PHI"). Life engaged a third-party vendor to review the data that was compromised. The data mining process took some time given the complexities of the types and the volume of the data analyzed, requiring multiple phases of automated and manual review. Life engaged a third-party notice vendor to assist with the mailings, call center, and provide identity theft protection services. Thereafter, Life worked to verify the patient information and addresses for mailing. On March 28, 2025, Life finalized the list of individuals to notify. What Information Was Involved?
