Updated on February 18, 2025
On January 7, 2025, Medusind, Inc. (“Medusind”) reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the Offices of the Attorney General in Maine and California. According to its report, Medusind detected suspicious activity on December 29, 2023. A subsequent investigation confirmed that an unauthorized third party had accessed and acquired certain sensitive and private data of patients from Medusind’s network.
Recently, Medusind began sending data breach notification letters to those affected by the Data Breach. Each notification letter includes access to credit monitoring and identity restoration services provided by Kroll.
According to Medusind’s report, approximately 360,934 individuals were impacted by the Data Breach. As the announcement was made only recently, Medusind has not yet disclosed additional details. If you received a data breach notification letter from Medusind, it indicates that you were affected by the Data Breach.
Founded in 2002, Medusind is a leading provider of healthcare information technology and revenue cycle management solutions.

The type of compromised information varied among individuals and potentially included:
This information is called your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). It tells others about you and is considered part of your identity. Businesses are required to secure this information or risk facing statutory penalties, among other legal penalties. Stolen PII can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity.
Personal medical information (a specific type of PII) is referred to as Protected Health Information (“PHI”). It is protected under both state and federal law. Healthcare providers and other businesses who handle PHI are required to protect that information. Like stolen PII, stolen PHI can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity. Quite often, PII and PHI are used in conjunction by hackers.
The best way to protect yourself after a data breach is to sign up for credit and identity protection services as soon as possible.
