Strauss Borrelli PLLC, a leading data breach law firm, is investigating Medica Corporation regarding its recent data breach. The Medica data breach may have involved sensitive personal information belonging to an undetermined number of individuals.

ABOUT MEDICA CORPORATION:

Medica is a medical equipment manufacturer based in Massachusetts. Founded in 1983, Medica manufactures easy-to-use, easy-to-maintain, in vitro diagnostic analyzers.2 Specifically designed for small to medium sized labs, Medica markets and sells clinical chemistry analyzers, electrolyte analyzers, blood gas analyzers, as well as OEM ion-selective electrode (ISE) modules.2 With over 115 distributors in more than 140 countries, Medica’s products are used for on-site diagnostic testing in group practice offices, clinics, and laboratories.2 Headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, Medica employs over 50 individuals.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Recently, Medica reported to the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that it had experienced a data breach in which sensitive personal identifiable information in its systems may have been accessed. According to the breach notice, on November 20, 2024, Medica discovered that its network had experienced a security breach. As a result, Medica launched an investigation to determine the nature of the incident.

Through its investigation, Medica discovered that sensitive personal information belonging to employees and former employees who participated in its 401(K) program may have been compromised by an outside party engaged in ransomware attacks.1 As a result, Medica began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. While the information impacted varies depending on the individual, the type of information potentially exposed includes:

  • Name
  • Social Security number

 

As a result of the data breach, Medica began mailing data breach notification letters to potentially impacted individuals. Based on the breach notice sent to Massachusetts residents, Medica is still determining the scope of the breach and will share further information with affected individuals, such as complementary credit monitoring services. A link to the form breach notification letters that Medica filed with the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is below.
