Goshen Medical Center Data Breach Lawsuit

Goshen Medical Center, a non-profit healthcare provider serving central and eastern North Carolina, recently reported a data security incident that may have compromised the personal information of over 450,000 individuals. If you were impacted, you may have legal options to pursue compensation for the breach.

Goshen Medical Center’s Data Security Incident Investigation

On March 4, 2025, Goshen Medical Center detected suspicious activity within its network, prompting an immediate investigation. The center engaged cybersecurity specialists to assist with the incident response, and the investigation revealed that certain files had been accessed or acquired without authorization on February 15, 2025.

A comprehensive review of the affected data was completed by September 12, 2025, confirming that sensitive personal and health-related information was potentially exposed. The compromised data includes individuals’ names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and medical record numbers.

While Goshen Medical Center has found no evidence of misuse or attempted misuse of the exposed information, the breach still raises significant concerns for individuals affected. The center has since taken steps to improve its security measures and reduce the likelihood of similar incidents occurring in the future.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The suspicious activity on Goshen Medical Center’s network was first detected on March 4, 2025, but the unauthorized access to sensitive data occurred on February 15, 2025. The full review of the impacted data was completed by September 12, 2025, and individuals were notified afterward.

What Information Was Breached?

The breach potentially exposed the following sensitive personal information:

• Name
• Address
• Date of birth
• Social Security number
• Driver’s license number
• Medical record number

This information, if used maliciously, could lead to identity theft, fraud, and other risks. The exposure of medical record numbers also poses significant privacy concerns, as it can be used for medical identity theft or other fraudulent activities.
