Delta Dental of Virginia Data Breach Exposes SSNs and Names

Between March 21, 2025 and April 23, 2025, Delta Dental of Virginia, the largest dental benefits provider in Virginia, experienced a data breach that exposed personally identifiable information of its members. According to the investigation, a cybercriminal gained access to personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) via email accounts and attachments.

The incident was first discovered on April 23, 2025, when the company detected suspicious activity associated with a single email account. As a result, a comprehensive review was conducted to determine the scope of the information that may have been accessed or acquired.

The compromised information may have included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, state or federal government-issued ID numbers and other protected health information. The cybersecurity incident has impacted at least 2374 residents in Texas and 169 in New Hampshire, with the total number of affected individuals across all states not yet specified.

The exposure of PII and PHI puts individuals at risk of identity theft and medical fraud.
