What Happened?
On Nov. 23, 2024, Communicare discovered unusual activity on its network. An investigation revealed that unauthorized access occurred for a short period on that same day, and certain information was acquired without authorization. The breach affected systems containing sensitive data related to current and former employees, patients, dependents, and other individuals.
Information Exposed:
- Social Security number
- Date of birth
- Driver’s license number
- State-issued identification number
- Passport number
- Military identification number
- Financial account information
- Medical information
- Health insurance information
The DAIXIN Team, a known ransomware group, claimed responsibility for the attack and threatened to publish the stolen data on the dark web. The incident was reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Jan. 22, 2025. At least 3,771 people in the United States had their protected health information exposed.
Your Rights and Next Steps
If you believe your information may have been compromised in this breach, there are several important steps to consider. First, monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Under federal law, everyone is entitled to one free credit report each year from each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
You also have the right to place a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit file at no cost. A fraud alert makes it harder for identity thieves to open accounts in your name, while a credit freeze restricts access to your credit report entirely.
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
If your information was exposed in the Communicare data breach, you may be entitled to compensation for any harm or inconvenience you have experienced. Lawyers are ready to help individuals affected by this breach understand their rights and pursue potential claims.
