Assisted Living Pharmacy Service Data Breach Impacts Thousands

Assisted Living Pharmacy Service LLC (ALPS), a Wisconsin-based long-term care pharmacy, experienced a data breach affecting at least 5,590 individuals. On or about June 26, 2025, the pharmacy discovered suspicious activity within its network. An investigation took place and determined that an unauthorized actor gained access to the pharmacy's computer environment between June 25, 2025, and June 27, 2025.

A review was completed on Aug. 8, 2025 and revealed that the data breach compromised both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). Patients who received prescription services from ALPS between Jan. 2024 and June 2025 may have been impacted.

The Qilin ransomware group, claimed responsibility and posted about the incident on their dark web portal on Aug. 12, 2025. They asserted they had obtained 150 GB of organization data and released sample screenshots as proof. This type of ransomware attack means that not only was sensitive data stolen, but the company may have faced threats of public exposure or further extortion.

Exposed information includes names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license or state ID numbers, medical records, lab results, prescribed medications, treatment information, health insurance claim information and financial information including payment card details.

Assisted Living Pharmacy Service disclosed the data breach to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Aug. 12, 2025. The pharmacy also published a Notice of Data Event on its website.
