Wayne Memorial Hospital Data Breach

Wayne Memorial Hospital Data Breach Impacts Over 163,000 Patients and Staff

Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C. is investigating a significant data breach involving Wayne Memorial Hospital, a healthcare provider based in Jesup, Georgia. The breach has potentially compromised the personal and medical information of 163,440 individuals.

What Happened In This Data Breach?

Between May 30 and June 3, 2024, Wayne Memorial Hospital experienced a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third party accessed sensitive personal and health information. The incident was formally reported to the Maine Attorney General’s Office on September 7, 2025, and notification letters have since been mailed to affected individuals.

What Information Was Exposed?

The hospital’s investigation revealed that both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) were exposed. The compromised data may include:

  • Names and dates of birth
  • Social Security numbers
  • Driver’s license or state-issued ID numbers
  • User IDs and passwords
  • Financial account numbers
  • Credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates, and CVV codes
  • Medicare and Medicaid numbers
  • Health insurance member and provider numbers
  • Diagnoses, medical histories, and treatment information
  • Prescription details
  • Lab test results and imaging records

This broad scope of compromised data makes the breach particularly severe, given that it includes financial, identity, and detailed medical information.

Wayne Memorial Hospital’s Response

Wayne Memorial Hospital has begun notifying patients and staff and filed official breach reports with regulators. The hospital has not yet released public details about whether it will provide identity theft protection or credit monitoring services.
