ChristianaCare, a leading healthcare provider, has announced that certain patient data was compromised in a cybersecurity incident involving Oracle Health (formerly Cerner). The breach occurred due to unauthorized access to legacy Cerner systems, which affected the data of multiple healthcare providers, including ChristianaCare. This article provides key details about the breach, the types of data involved, and the steps individuals can take to protect their information.

ChristianaCare’s Data Breach Investigation

In April 2025, Oracle Health informed ChristianaCare of a data breach in which an unauthorized third party accessed legacy Cerner systems as early as January 22, 2025. The breach affected multiple healthcare organizations that use Oracle Health’s electronic health records (EHR) system, including ChristianaCare.

Upon learning of the breach, Oracle Health immediately began an investigation, brought in external cybersecurity specialists, and worked with federal law enforcement. As part of the investigation, law enforcement requested that patient notifications be delayed to avoid compromising the ongoing inquiry.

On September 29, 2025, Oracle Health provided ChristianaCare with a list of affected patients. The compromised data varies by individual but may include sensitive personal and medical information. ChristianaCare’s IT systems were not impacted, and there was no disruption to clinical operations.

ChristianaCare is mailing notification letters to patients whose information was involved in this incident. The notification includes an offer of complimentary credit monitoring and minor identity protection services for a period of two years.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The breach was first detected in January 2025, with unauthorized access beginning as early as January 22, 2025. Oracle Health informed ChristianaCare about the breach in April 2025. Notifications to affected patients were delayed until September 29, 2025, due to an ongoing investigation by federal law enforcement.

What Information Was Breached?

The breach involved patient data stored on Oracle Health’s legacy Cerner systems. The specific information compromised may vary by patient but could include:

  • Names

  • Social Security numbers

  • Medical record numbers

  • Doctor information

  • Diagnoses

  • Medications

  • Test results

  • Medical images

  • Care and treatment details

It is important to note that no data maintained by ChristianaCare’s current IT systems was involved, and there was no disruption to the organization’s clinical operations.

What You Can Do

If you were affected by the ChristianaCare data breach, it is important to take the following steps to protect your personal information:

  • Activate credit monitoring: ChristianaCare is offering a complimentary two-year membership for credit monitoring and identity protection services to affected individuals. Be sure to activate these services to monitor your credit and detect any unauthorized activity.

  • Review statements: Carefully review any statements you receive from your healthcare providers and health insurers. If you notice any discrepancies or unauthorized charges, immediately report them to the relevant provider or insurer.

  • Place a fraud alert: Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report. This will notify creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before extending credit in your name.

  • Freeze your credit: A credit freeze can prevent creditors from accessing your credit report, which makes it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name.

  • Watch out for phishing: Be vigilant for phishing scams or fraudulent communications attempting to collect your personal information. Cybercriminals may use this breach to attempt to steal your data.

ChristianaCare has also committed to reviewing the cybersecurity practices of its third-party vendors to prevent similar incidents in the future.
