What Happened at Sunflower Medical?
On March 7, 2025, Sunflower Medical Group filed a notice of data breach with the Attorney General of Maine after discovering that an “unknown and unauthorized party” accessed the company’s computing network. An investigation following the incident concluded that the unauthorized party may have accessed consumers’ sensitive information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, medical information, and health insurance information.
Sunflower Medical Group has begun sending out data breach notification letters to all individuals whose information may be affected by the data security incident.
