ROANOKE, Va. – Roanoke-based Delta Dental of Virginia is facing legal action following a data security incident that affected about 146,000 people.
The incident, which was discovered in April, involved unauthorized access to emails and attachments over a month-long period. Delta Dental notified potentially affected individuals in November and said there is no evidence of misuse so far.
