On July 19, 2025, Keys Pathology Associates, PA, a Florida-based provider of anatomic and clinical pathology services, reported a significant data breach to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The cybersecurity incident affected at least 20,000 individuals in the United States. The breach compromised both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).
Exposed information may include names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance information, medical records, diagnostic information and other health-related data. This breach is considered severe because the stolen data includes both sensitive medical and personal details, which could be used for identity theft or fraud.
In addition to required state and federal disclosures, Keys Pathology Associates will work to notify affected individuals.

A breach notice means your personal details could be circulating far beyond the organization involved. One practical step is continuous monitoring: services such as Identity Defender (included with an ExpressVPN subscription) can automatically check dark-web markets, flag new credit-file activity, and request removal of your information from data-broker sites.
This kind of “early-warning system” can’t undo a breach, but it can help you spot misuse quickly and limit further exposure. ExpressVPN is offering 61% off, risk-free for 30 days, with ID Theft Insurance included and no extra cost for those who sign up for one or two years.
