Myrtue Medical Center Data Breach Lawsuit Investigation

Were you treated or employed at Myrtue Medical Center? A recent cyber-attack may have exposed your Social Security number, medical details, and more. Find out how to protect yourself and whether you can pursue compensation.

What Happened?

On June 13, 2025, Myrtue Medical Center (MMC) discovered suspicious activity on its computer network and immediately shut down remote access, reset administrative credentials, and hired a third-party cybersecurity firm. Less than two weeks later, the hacker collective “Worldleaks” claimed on the dark web that it had exfiltrated 1.2 terabytes of MMC data—over 806,000 files.

The hospital is still determining exactly whose information was accessed, but the volume of data suggests that many patients, employees, and possibly vendors could be affected. Written notification letters will be mailed when the forensic review is complete.

What Information Was Exposed?

Myrtue’s preliminary notice indicates the stolen dataset may include:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Dates of birth
• Home and mailing addresses
• Government-issued IDs (e.g., driver’s licenses, passports)
• Medical information (diagnoses, treatment, billing)
• Financial information (bank or payment card details)

Any combination of these details can be used by criminals to commit identity theft or medical fraud.

MMC’s Response So Far

Steps taken by Myrtue Medical Center include:

• Disconnecting remote network access and enhancing firewall protections
• Changing all administrative passwords and user credentials
• Engaging cybersecurity experts to conduct a full forensic investigation
• Setting up a dedicated toll-free help line: 866-905-8124 (Mon-Fri, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. CST)

Despite these measures, victims may still face long-term risks. Legal action seeks to hold MMC accountable for preventative security failures and to fund robust credit-monitoring, identity-theft insurance, and monetary damages for those harmed.

Your Immediate Action Plan

If you suspect your data was involved, take these steps today:

• Monitor bank, credit-card, and insurance statements for unauthorized charges.
• Obtain free credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion at AnnualCreditReport.com.
• Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with each bureau to prevent new accounts being opened in your name.
• Report identity theft or suspicious activity to the Federal Trade Commission and local law enforcement.

Potential Lawsuit & Compensation

Victims of data breaches often incur out-of-pocket expenses, lost time, and emotional distress. U.S. privacy laws allow individuals to seek:

• Reimbursement for fraud-related losses
• The cost of credit-monitoring or identity-theft protection services
• Statutory or punitive damages for negligent security
• Injunctive relief requiring stronger future cybersecurity measures

Class-action litigation is actively investigating MMC’s security practices. Completing a confidential claim review can clarify your eligibility to join and help preserve your rights.
