What Happened?
According to Minnesota Epilepsy Group’s public notice, the organization discovered on April 7, 2026 that an unauthorized third party may have accessed its computer network. The notice states that the organization began an internal investigation, worked to secure its systems, notified law enforcement, and retained a forensic security firm.
The forensic review reportedly indicated that unauthorized access occurred at times between March 16 and April 10, 2026, and that certain files may have been accessed and acquired. The notice further states that, after reviewing the affected files, the organization determined on May 18, 2026 that some of those files contained personal information. Mailing notices to individuals with valid addresses reportedly began on June 5, 2026.
What Information Was Exposed?
Based on the notice, the information potentially involved varied by person. It may have included a person’s name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, medical treatment information, and health insurance information.
Because medical and insurance details can be sensitive, affected people may want to watch not only for traditional identity theft, but also for unusual insurance claims, bills, explanation-of-benefits statements, or medical-account activity. The notice says there was no evidence of misuse at the time it was issued, but that does not eliminate the need for caution.
What Should You Do Next?
- Read any letter you received carefully. The mailed notice may explain exactly what categories of information were involved for you and whether any free services are available.
- Enroll in offered identity protection if eligible. Minnesota Epilepsy Group says complimentary identity theft protection was arranged for individuals whose Social Security numbers were involved.
- Monitor your financial, credit, and healthcare records. Review bank and card statements, check your credit reports, and look closely at insurer notices, explanation-of-benefits forms, and medical bills for activity you do not recognize.
- Consider a fraud alert or credit freeze. If your Social Security number may have been involved, a fraud alert or security freeze can add protection against new-account fraud.
- Document suspicious activity and report it quickly. Keep copies of letters, screenshots, bills, and any time spent resolving problems. Prompt reporting can help limit harm and preserve your options.
- Use the listed support resources. The notice provides a toll-free inquiry line at 866-659-7085. If you want to understand whether you may have a legal claim, you can also fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC.
Your Legal Rights
Your rights depend on the facts of the incident, the kind of information involved, and the laws that apply. In general, people whose personal or health information may have been involved have the right to receive notice of the incident and to ask questions about what information was affected, what security measures were in place, and what remediation is being offered.
In some cases, affected individuals may be able to pursue claims if an organization failed to use reasonable safeguards, did not provide timely notice required by law, or if the incident led to measurable harm such as fraud, unreimbursed expenses, or significant time spent addressing the fallout. A lawyer can help evaluate the circumstances without promising any particular result.
