‍

What Happened?

According to the company’s public notice, Bradford identified suspicious activity within its computer network on December 8, 2023. An internal investigation revealed that an unauthorized third party gained access to sensitive information stored on its systems. Bradford has since reviewed the data involved to determine what information was compromised and which individuals were affected.

‍

What Information Was Exposed?

While the exact scope varies, the potentially compromised data includes:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Dates of birth
• Driver’s license and passport numbers
• Bank account and payment card information
• Medical records, including diagnosis and treatment details
• Health insurance data
• Physician names and medical record numbers

‍

This type of information can be highly valuable to cybercriminals and may be used for identity theft, medical fraud, or financial exploitation.

‍

When Were Affected Individuals Notified?

On May 30, 2025, Bradford Health Services began notifying impacted individuals by mail and posted a public disclosure on its website. Affected patients are encouraged to review the official notification and take steps to protect their personal and financial information.

‍

What Should You Do If You Were Affected?

If you received a letter from Bradford regarding this breach, it’s important to act quickly:

1. Monitor your credit reports and financial accounts for signs of fraud.
2. Place fraud alerts or credit freezes with the three major credit bureaus.
3. Document all correspondence and expenses related to the breach.
4. Consult with a qualified data breach attorney to understand your rights.
