What Happened?
According to its public data security notice, FMRS identified irregular activity on certain computer systems within its network on February 27, 2026. The company reported that its ongoing investigation found unauthorized access to certain systems between January 20 and the discovery date. During that period, files were reportedly copied. FMRS stated that it took steps to secure its network, began investigating the nature and scope of the activity, and notified law enforcement and applicable regulators. The company also reported that its electronic health record and email systems were not affected. Its review was still underway when the notice was prepared, including an examination of the copied files to determine whose information may have been involved. FMRS said it had no indication of identity theft or fraud related to the event at that time.What Information Was Exposed?
FMRS reported that the files may have contained names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, medical history, diagnoses, treatment information, prescription information, physician information, medical record numbers, and health insurance information. These categories were described as potentially affected, and the information involved may differ from person to person. FMRS also stated that not every patient was impacted. Healthcare information can create risks beyond ordinary financial fraud. Potential misuse may include medical identity theft, fraudulent patient billing, false insurance claims, prescription-related inquiries, and scams impersonating a healthcare provider or insurer. The notice does not establish that any such misuse has occurred.What Should You Do Next?
- Review your notice: Keep any letter or email you receive and identify the specific information FMRS says may relate to you. Do not provide personal information in response to an unexpected message claiming to verify your eligibility.
- Monitor financial and credit records: Review bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unfamiliar accounts or charges. Consider placing a free fraud alert or credit freeze with the major credit bureaus if a Social Security number or financial information may be involved.
- Check healthcare activity: Examine medical bills, insurer explanations of benefits, patient statements, and prescription records for services, providers, or medications you do not recognize. Promptly dispute suspicious entries with the provider and insurer.
- Watch for targeted scams: Be cautious of calls, emails, or texts requesting insurance numbers, payment, passwords, or verification codes. Independently contact the healthcare provider or insurer using a trusted telephone number rather than links or numbers in an unexpected message.
- Document suspected misuse: Preserve notices, screenshots, bills, correspondence, and records of time or expenses associated with suspicious activity. Report identity theft through the Federal Trade Commission and consider contacting relevant financial institutions, insurers, or law enforcement as appropriate.
Your Legal Rights
People whose information may have been involved could have rights under federal or state privacy, data security, breach-notification, consumer-protection, or credit-reporting laws. Available rights depend on factors such as the person’s state of residence, the information involved, whether notice was timely, and whether measurable losses or identity misuse occurred. Potential options may include requesting more information, disputing inaccurate credit or medical records, placing free credit freezes, reporting identity theft, and seeking legal review of documented losses. Receiving a notice does not automatically establish a legal claim or entitlement to compensation. Because deadlines and legal standards can vary, affected individuals may wish to preserve their notice and supporting records and consult an attorney about their circumstances.Why Hire Strauss Borrelli PLLC?
