What happened at Communicare?

On November 23, 2024, Inlet Health dba Communicare detected unauthorized activity on its network. A rapid internal probe confirmed a ransomware assault by the notorious DAIXIN Team. Although the attackers were inside the system for only a short window, they siphoned off sensitive data belonging to at least 3,771 U.S. residents.

Data confirmed to be exposed

  • Full names & home addresses
  • Social Security numbers
  • Dates of birth
  • Driver’s license, state ID, passport & military ID numbers
  • Financial account details
  • Medical and health-insurance information

On December 3, 2024, the DAIXIN Team publicly threatened to leak the stolen files on a dark-web forum, amplifying the risk of identity theft and medical fraud.

Communicare’s response

The healthcare provider immediately secured its servers, notified federal law-enforcement, and began hardening its cybersecurity defenses. Affected individuals can reach Communicare’s dedicated assistance line at 877-258-5138 (Mon–Fri, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. ET, excluding holidays).

Protecting yourself after the breach

The leaked combination of personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) can be weaponized for:

  • Opening new credit lines or loans
  • Filing fraudulent tax returns or insurance claims
  • Receiving medical services under your name

Immediate action checklist

  1. Monitor credit: Obtain free annual reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
  2. Place a fraud alert: Contact any one credit bureau to flag your file for 12 months (free).
  3. Freeze your credit: Stop new credit inquiries altogether until you lift the freeze.
  4. Review medical statements: Watch Explanation of Benefits (EOB) forms for unfamiliar services.
  5. Change passwords & enable MFA: Especially for banking and healthcare portals.
  6. Visit identitytheft.gov: The FTC’s recovery hub provides step-by-step guides and sample dispute letters.

Could you be owed compensation?

Victims of data breaches often incur out-of-pocket expenses—credit-monitoring fees, time spent recovering identities, and potential financial losses. U.S. privacy and consumer-protection laws may entitle you to monetary relief for these harms. Data-breach lawsuits can recover:

  • Reimbursement of fraud-related expenses
  • Compensation for time and stress
  • Enhanced credit or identity-theft services
  • Punitive damages to deter future negligence

Legal teams are now collecting information to assess claims against Communicare. Completing a short eligibility form takes only minutes and costs nothing unless compensation is secured.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am part of the Communicare data breach?

Communicare mailed written notices to all individuals whose data was found on compromised systems. If you received a letter—or if you were a patient, employee, or dependent around November 23, 2024—you should assume your data may be at risk and act accordingly.

What specific data did the attackers obtain from Communicare?

The breach involved names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, various government ID numbers (driver’s license, state ID, passport, military), bank-account details, medical records, and health-insurance information.

Is Communicare offering free credit monitoring?

Communicare has not publicly announced complimentary monitoring services. However, the company encourages you to leverage free annual credit reports and consider a fraud alert or credit freeze.

Can I join a lawsuit even if I have not spotted fraud yet?

Yes. Courts recognize that the mere exposure of sensitive data can create a substantial risk of future identity theft. You may still qualify for relief even if you have not yet experienced direct financial losses.

How long do I have to take legal action against Communicare?

Statutes of limitation vary by state, but data-breach claims are often subject to a 1- to 3-year window from the date of discovery. Acting quickly preserves evidence and strengthens your case.

What makes the Communicare breach different from others?

Unlike many incidents limited to basic PII, this breach combined PHI and government-issued IDs, vastly increasing the potential for medical and financial fraud. Additionally, a credible ransomware gang has threatened to leak the information online.
