The National Board of Examiners in Optometry has been sued over the data breach that has impacted thousands of optometrists across the US, as the perpetrators tried to sign individuals up fraduently for Chase Amazon Visa credit cards.
A complaint filed in the District of Maryland asks the NBEO to “immediately provide direct notice of the breach to all affected individuals.”
Six weeks ago we learned that a financial database of optometrists was compromised. The source of the breach is still in dispute, but the upshot is that it has led to a massive cyberattack, with the bad actors attempting to open Chase Amazon.com credit cards in the names of hundreds of ODs.
The fallout from the breach is ongoing, as ODwire.org members continue to report cards being opened in their name. If you haven’t checked your credit, you may want to now. And sign up for a fraud alert.

Since the redesign last week, you may have noticed that the phone apps haven’t worked properly. We’re releasing updated versions of the apps to go with the redesigned site.
The Android version has already been released, and the iPhone version should be available shortly.
Let me know if you have any problems!
