Medical Practice of Dr. Richard Swift
January 12, 2026
•[ malware, cyberattack, data leak ]
DataBreaches reported on a class action lawsuit alleging that a Manhattan plastic surgery practice run by Dr. Richard Swift was compromised by a malware-related cyberattack in 2025 and that sensitive patient information was posted online. The suit alleged that a site hosted outside the U.S. displayed personal identifiers and medical record details for at least 22 patients, and that affected patients only learned about the breach after attackers contacted them directly. DataBreaches noted the same threat actors were linked to attacks on other plastic surgery practices and described a recurring pattern where attackers approached patients with demands in exchange for removing posted information. Public reporting did not confirm whether the practice paid, and the article noted the leak site later appeared offline.
