What Happened?
Detailed information from the official notice is not publicly accessible at this time. The summary here is based on the structured regulatory data available, which indicates the matter was reported as a hacking/IT incident. That same data lists June 11, 2026 as the incident date and shows the matter was publicly listed on July 31, 2026. Because the underlying notice was not available for review, key facts such as how the activity was discovered, whether data was actually acquired, and how many people were notified remain unclear.
What Information Was Exposed?
According to the available filing data, the categories of information that may have been involved include name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, health records, and health insurance information. These are sensitive data elements, especially when personal identifiers and medical information appear together. Publicly available materials do not explain whether every affected person had all of these data types involved, so readers should not assume the same level of exposure applied to everyone.
What Should You Do Next?
- Review any notice you received carefully. Check what the letter says about the information involved, the date of the event, and whether any credit or identity monitoring was offered.
- Watch your financial and medical accounts. Review bank statements, insurance explanations of benefits, and medical bills for unfamiliar activity.
- Consider fraud protection tools. A fraud alert or credit freeze can help reduce the risk of new accounts being opened in your name, especially if your Social Security number may have been involved.
- Change passwords where appropriate. Update passwords for patient portals, email accounts, and any reused passwords connected to sensitive accounts.
- Keep records and ask questions. Save letters, screenshots, and notes about any suspicious activity or time spent responding. If you want to understand whether you may have a claim, fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC.
