Bell Ambulance, Inc. has confirmed a cybersecurity breach that exposed sensitive personal information from its internal systems. The incident potentially affects an undisclosed number of individuals whose data may include protected health and identity information.
Bell Ambulance’s Data Breach Investigation
On February 13, 2025, Bell Ambulance, Inc. (“Bell”), a Wisconsin-based emergency medical service provider, detected unauthorized activity on its computer network. In response, the company immediately brought in third-party forensic specialists to investigate the breach and assess its scope. The investigation confirmed that an unauthorized individual had accessed sensitive data stored on Bell’s network.
Following the breach discovery, Bell began a comprehensive internal review to identify the impacted data and the individuals affected. While Bell began notifying some individuals as early as April 18, 2025, it wasn’t until December 23, 2025 that the company confirmed additional personal data had been involved—prompting further notifications.
Bell has not publicly specified the exact data elements affected, but based on standard breach notifications and regulatory definitions, the compromised information likely includes names in combination with sensitive identifiers such as Social Security numbers, medical data, or other protected information.
In response, Bell reset employee passwords, secured internal accounts, and is offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services for 12 or 24 months through a third-party vendor. The company also provided step-by-step guidance for individuals to monitor their credit and report suspicious activity.
Despite the lack of confirmed identity theft incidents so far, the nature of the data breach—within a healthcare service provider—makes it especially concerning. Medical and personal data are highly valuable on the black market and can lead to long-term fraud risks.

Bell discovered the breach on February 13, 2025, began initial notifications on April 18, 2025, and confirmed additional exposures on December 23, 2025.
