Boston Medical Center (BMC) has reported a recent security breach that may have compromised personal information associated with certain user accounts. The medical center is notifying affected individuals and offering resources to help protect their data. Affected individuals are urged to stay vigilant by regularly reviewing their personal information and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Boston Medical Center Data Breach Details

On March 9, 2025, BMC’s Information Technology team detected unusual activity linked to certain user accounts. After a thorough investigation, it was confirmed that unauthorized access had occurred, potentially exposing sensitive personal data. The breach was identified in BMC’s Workday account system, which is used by employees for work-related functions.

In an effort to mitigate the impact of the breach, BMC has also partnered with IDX, a leader in identity protection services. Affected individuals are being offered 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring, CyberScan monitoring, and identity theft recovery services. IDX will also provide a $1,000,000 insurance policy to help with any potential losses stemming from identity theft.

What Information Was Involved?

The compromised information may include personal data within Workday accounts, such as:

  • Name, address, and Social Security number.

  • Bank account and routing information.

  • Additional information stored in the Workday system, such as employee credentials and other sensitive details.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you were affected, you should have received a direct notification from Boston Medical Center, such as a letter or email. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin before the official notice arrives.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Information

If you believe you were affected by the breach, there are several steps you can take to protect your personal information:

  1. Monitor Your Credit Reports: Review your credit reports for any suspicious activity or errors. You are entitled to one free report per year from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

  2. Activate Free Credit Monitoring: Enroll in the free credit monitoring services offered by Boston Medical Center through IDX. The service includes:

    • Daily credit report updates

    • Identity theft insurance coverage up to $1 million

    • Identity Restoration services for resolving fraud issues

    • Additional fraud protection features

  3. Place a Fraud Alert or Credit Freeze: You can place a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit file with each of the three bureaus to prevent unauthorized access.

  4. Create Strong Passwords and Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Strengthen your security by using complex passwords for your accounts, avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites, and activate MFA wherever possible.

  5. Watch for Phishing Attempts: Be wary of phishing attempts, especially those that may claim to be from Boston Medical Center or other institutions asking for personal details.
