Archer Health Data Breach Lawsuit

Archer Health, a California-based home healthcare provider, recently experienced a cybersecurity incident that may have exposed sensitive patient information. The incident involved an unencrypted, publicly accessible database containing approximately 145,000 files, potentially impacting the privacy of patients and staff.

Archer Health’s Data Breach Investigation

Archer Health, headquartered in Carlsbad, California, provides home healthcare services including chronic disease management, fall prevention therapy, and post-operative rehabilitation. Their programs include skilled nursing, therapy, medical social work, nutritional guidance, and palliative care for patients with chronic or serious conditions. Archer Health serves San Diego and Riverside Counties and prioritizes patient care and privacy.

The cybersecurity incident was discovered by a security researcher who identified a publicly exposed database linked to Archer Health. The database was unencrypted and lacked password protection, making it easily accessible to anyone who knew its location. The exposed database reportedly contained medical and administrative documents, including assessments, home health certificates, discharge forms, and other internal files. A sample of the data revealed records containing names, patient ID numbers, Social Security numbers, physical addresses, phone numbers, and additional personal information.

Upon receiving the disclosure notice, Archer Health quickly took the database offline and began investigating the incident. The organization acknowledged the responsible disclosure and stated it takes data security and patient privacy very seriously, committing to addressing any security issues promptly. As of September 26, 2025, Archer Health has not publicly confirmed whether the incident constitutes a formal data breach or disclosed the total number of affected individuals.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The cybersecurity incident was discovered in September 2025. The exposed database was publicly accessible prior to the responsible disclosure, but the exact timeline of unauthorized access is unclear. Archer Health was notified and acted within hours to secure the database.

What Information Was Breached?

The exposed database potentially contained highly sensitive personal and medical information, including:

• Patient names
• Patient ID numbers
• Social Security numbers
• Physical addresses
• Phone numbers
• Medical assessments, home health certificates, and discharge forms
• Other internal healthcare documents

The exposure of such data creates a significant risk for identity theft, financial fraud, and misuse of medical information.
