A major data breach of a popular Beverly Hills plastic surgeon led to sensitive information being posted on a public website, along with what appears to be very private images of the doctor himself.

Hamilton is an information security specialist and consultant with expertise in health care cybersecurity. The I-Team reached out for his assessment of what may have happened in this case.He says the data dump of patient records combined with what appears to be very private pictures and videos of Dr. Motykie is unusual.

The I-Team reached out to Dr. Motykie for an on-camera interview, but he declined. Instead he sent a statement saying he cannot comment on pending litigation, but he did confirm the data breach, stating in part: “the third-party responsible for this situation has made demands for money in exchange for information to be deleted. We and law enforcement cannot guarantee that any payment will result in information being deleted or used in any way in the future.

The detective also said Dr. Motykie would be offering patients a two-year subscription for identity theft protection. The patients who spoke with the I-Team say that is not nearly enough.Any alleged data security incidents are investigated, and appropriate steps are taken. We do not provide any public information about any alleged incidents until we have what we believe to be accurate and complete information, and we cannot speak to any pending litigation and ongoing law enforcement involvement.
