On December 17, 2024, the Everest ransomware group listed Artistic Family Dental, Value Dental Center, and Sparkling Smiles Family Dentistry on its leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. The three dental practices, which appear to serve families across multiple locations, now face public exposure of sensitive business and patient-related records. The listing does not quantify how many patient records were affected.

You can’t unleak data. You can take away what it’s worth.
A leaked record is where it starts, not where it ends. What turns it into your front door is the look-up sites publishing your address beside your name — and those are what an AI reads when somebody asks about you. The free scan shows you both. We write to 580 companies.

Details from the Leak Site
The primary disclosure on the Everest leak site states that the three dental clinics suffered a ransomware incident in which attackers successfully exfiltrated internal files. A download link hosted on GoFile was provided as proof. The notification does not specify the exact data types beyond “internal files,” nor does it list individual data fields such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, or insurance details. It also does not disclose the ransom demand or any negotiation status. The practices were grouped together in a single listing, suggesting they may share systems or ownership.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or your children have received care at Artistic Family Dental, Value Dental Center, or Sparkling Smiles Family Dentistry, your personal health information and contact details may now sit in an attacker’s archive. Dental records frequently contain dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, insurance policy numbers, and sometimes Social Security numbers for billing. Exposure of this data increases risks of identity theft, insurance fraud, and phishing campaigns tailored to look like legitimate dental-office communications. Families are especially vulnerable because a single parent’s record can link to children’s information, creating a broader household exposure surface.
Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks
Health-care data rarely exists in isolation. Once exfiltrated, it can be cross-referenced with other breaches to build detailed identity profiles. A dental patient’s email and phone number can link gaming accounts, school portals, and social-media handles belonging to the same household. Attackers then use these connections for doxxing, account takeovers, or targeted extortion. Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into children’s gaming accounts, where weak or reused passwords allow intruders to harass minors or demand payment from parents. The longer the data remains unmonitored, the more links attackers can forge.
