MARLTON, N.J., Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 605,000 people are being notified that their Social Security numbers and other confidential information were compromised when an unauthorized party was able to access the computer network of East River Medical Imaging, a diagnostic imaging and radiology practice based in New York City, New York.
