What Happened at EncompassCare?
On January 9, 2025, EncompassCare filed a data breach notice with the Attorney General of Massachusetts, and began sending out notification letters to all individuals possibly affected by the data breach incident. EncompassCare identified unusual activity on its IT network on October 4, 2024 and began an investigation. With the help of third-party cybersecurity experts, they concluded that the unauthorized party accessed its network on September 17, 2024, with evidence that the hackers acquired confidential consumer information.
In their notice, Encompass Care explains that the incident may have resulted in an unauthorized party being able to access and acquire personal data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical information, and health insurance information.
If you receive a data breach notification letter from EncompassCare, it is important to understand the risks of any event such as this. Individuals who have their data leaked — particularly SSNs and insurance information — may be at increased risk of medical identity theft and fraud. More details will emerge in the coming weeks, but all victims should take action to mitigate any risks of fraud.
