While the full details of the breach are still under investigation, it is likely that the breach exposed the health data of over 3,700 individuals.

As part of the breach notification process, MNHC is working to identify those whose PHI may have been affected and plans to notify them soon.

The breach was detected on December 19, 2025, and while specific details regarding the time frame of the unauthorized access are not yet fully disclosed, it is clear that sensitive personal information was exposed. MNHC has taken immediate steps to address the situation and protect affected individuals.

What Information Was Breached?

The breach potentially involved the following types of sensitive information:

  • Full Names

  • Medical Records

The specific data compromised may vary for each individual affected, but PHI is generally considered highly sensitive, and its exposure can lead to risks like identity theft and fraud.

What You Can Do

If you were affected by this breach, here are steps you can take to protect your personal information:

  1. Monitor Your Credit Reports and Financial Statements: Regularly check your bank, credit card, and health insurance statements for any signs of unauthorized activity. You are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion).
