Got A Notification From The Hospital About Data Breach

[OneEyedDiva]

Apparently the breach happened back in January 2025. I haven't been in the hospital since 2016. During the breach, information from Oracle Health, a health records vendor, was compromised. Patient names, medical records, including test results, diagnoses and doctors' names were obtained, as well as social security numbers.

The letter goes on to say that as soon as Oracle became aware they "initiated a critical response process and took steps to secure the impacted systems". Oracle is also offering two years of free identity protection and credit monitoring services. Have any of you gotten a similar notification (or notifications)?

If you are interested in getting it, directly contact them may be best. I can understand an identity service for them. Why would they
be needing to offer credit monitoring too.

Yep. The worst one was a contractor at the hospital stealing patient's info and selling it. I wasn't aware until I started getting notices and statements in my husband's name that we did not apply for. We were already dealing with his cancer diagnosis this just added to the stress we were already under.

Mine has also been compromised from a different source.

We had his credit monitored and we locked all of our credit reports down.

I've gotten a few of those notices, and about a year later, I got a letter asking if I wanted to be included in a class-action lawsuit.

I added my name to two of them and got a check several months later. One check was for around $150.00 and the other was for $1.39 or something. I ignored the 3rd one.

I've recived 3 so far this year and I did several last year, too. I've done nothing and as far as I know my bank account has had no unauthorized activity.

Yes, the local hospital was hacked last spring, got
a notice in the mail, and it took them a long time
to get everything back to normal....pita.....

Why would a hospital need your Social Insurance Number?

When we’re filling out forms, they often ask for things that probably aren’t needed. It helps them sell your data later.

Many medical offices will refuse treatment if you don't fill in every question.

That should be against the law , but who's going to stop them? It's been going on forever.
