Data Breach Summary
Able Home Care, a Massachusetts-based home health agency, has reported a significant data breach following a ransomware attack on July 22, 2025. The hacking group Worldleaks claimed responsibility for the breach, which involved the theft of sensitive information from the organization. Affected individuals are encouraged to monitor their financial statements and health insurance information for any suspicious activity.
The group made their announcement via a post on the dark web Tor network, confirming that they had successfully accessed data from Able Home Care.
While the exact number of affected individuals has not been disclosed, the breach is believed to involve thousands of patients due to the nature of the services provided by the agency. As a home health care provider, Able Home Care stores both personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI), which makes the breach particularly concerning.
The compromised data could include a wide range of sensitive information, such as patient names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license and state ID numbers, health insurance details, medical records, and financial or payment information.
