Mainline Health Systems Inc Data Breach
Mainline Health Systems Data Breach Affects Over 100,000 Patients: What You Need to Know
Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C. is investigating a major data breach involving Mainline Health Systems, a nonprofit healthcare provider based in southeastern Arkansas. According to public reports, the breach has impacted approximately 101,000 individuals, potentially exposing highly sensitive personal, financial, and medical information.
If you received a notification letter from Mainline Health Systems, your private data may be at risk—and you may be entitled to take legal action.
What Happened in the Data Breach?
On or around April 10, 2024, Mainline Health Systems reportedly experienced a significant security incident that affected its internal computer network. After discovering the breach, the organization launched an internal investigation and brought in external cybersecurity experts to evaluate the scope and cause of the attack. Federal law enforcement agencies were also notified.
Following a manual review of the compromised files, investigators determined—by May 21, 2025—that certain files accessed during the incident contained protected personal and health information of patients.
What Information Was Compromised?
Mainline Health Systems has confirmed that the exposed data may include the following:
- Full name
- Social Security number
- Date of birth
- U.S. driver’s license number
- Financial account and payment card information
- Medical record numbers and patient ID
- Medicaid and health insurance details
- Medical diagnoses, treatment procedures, clinical notes, and prescriptions
- Provider names and facility locations
This kind of information is often targeted by cybercriminals and can be used for identity theft, financial fraud, and medical identity scams.
