Data Breach Summary
Avantic Medical Lab, a clinical laboratory based in Edison, New Jersey, is at the center of a potential data breach after reports emerged that a notorious ransomware group had leaked highly sensitive patient data online.
On July 9, 2025, Avantic Medical Lab reported that the Everest ransomware gang added Avantic Medical Lab to its leak site on June 10, claiming responsibility for a data theft. To validate their claims, the group initially posted samples of the stolen data. By July 3, Everest had released a massive 31-gigabyte cache of patient files to the public.
The leaked files are reported to include confidential patient data linked to blood tests conducted in 2018 and additional records from more recent years. Information exposed in the breach includes full names, home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, and detailed medical information such as blood draw dates, diagnoses, test results, and explanation of benefits. The files also appear to contain insurance information, policy numbers, claim IDs, health provider details—as well as financial data, including checks and even credit card numbers complete with expiration dates and CVV codes.
Avantic Medical Lab provides diagnostic services to a wide range of healthcare providers, including nursing homes, pharmacies, urgent care centers, adult day care centers, and assisted living facilities across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Despite the serious nature of the breach, the company has yet to release an official statement or notify affected individuals.
Following the breach, Avantic Medical Lab faces potential class-action lawsuits from patients alleging negligence in protecting personal data. Data breach lawsuits often claim companies failed to implement adequate security measures or delayed disclosure of breaches, thereby increasing victims’ risk of financial and identity theft damages.
