Updated on February 28, 2025
On November 14, 2024, TriHealth H, LLC d/b/a TriHealth Physician Partners (“TriHealth”) reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the Department of Health & Human Services (“HHS”) Office of Civil Rights. According to its report, TriHealth detected suspicious activity on October 23, 2024. A subsequent investigation confirmed that an unauthorized third party had accessed and acquired electronic documents from TriHealth’s network related to its For Women practice, a previously independent OB/GYN group.
Recently, on or about November 14, 2024, TriHealth began sending data breach notification letters to those affected by the Data Breach. Included in its data breach notification letters is an offer of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for impacted individuals.
According to TriHealth’s report, approximately 27,426 individuals were impacted by the Data Breach. As the announcement was made only recently, TriHealth has not yet disclosed additional details. If you received a data breach notification letter from TriHealth it indicates that you were affected by the Data Breach.
Founded in 1995, TriHealth is a medical group that provides a wide array of services including internal and family medicine, cardiovascular care, women’s services, and mental health. With more than 12,000 employees, TriHealth generates approximately $2.5 billion in annual revenue.
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.
