Laboratory Services Cooperative (LSC), a provider of lab testing services to select Planned Parenthood centers, has informed individuals of a security incident that may have compromised personal and medical data. The breach affected a total of 1600000 individuals, including 1,814 residents of Maine. Affected individuals are urged to remain vigilant by regularly reviewing their personal information and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Laboratory Services Cooperative Data Breach Details

On October 27, 2024, LSC detected suspicious activity within their network. In response, the company immediately engaged third-party cybersecurity specialists to investigate the incident and notified federal law enforcement. The investigation revealed that an unauthorized third party had gained access to portions of LSC’s network and accessed certain files, removing them from the system.

LSC is offering affected individuals access to free credit monitoring and medical identity protection services through CyEx Medical Shield Complete. This service is provided at no cost to you for 12 or 24 months, depending on your state of residence. Key features of the service include:

  • 1-Bureau Credit Monitoring

  • Health Insurance Plan Number Monitoring

  • Medical Record Number Monitoring

  • Medical Beneficiary Identifier Monitoring

  • National Provider Number Monitoring

  • International Classification of Diseases Monitoring

  • Health Savings Account Monitoring

  • Dark Web Monitoring

Personal Information Affected

In February 2025, LSC completed the initial results of the data review. It was determined that certain patient and worker-related information was potentially impacted by the breach. The specific data involved may vary depending on an individual’s relationship with LSC, but may include the following categories:

  • Contact Details: Name, address, phone number, and email

  • Medical/Clinical Information: Date(s) of service, diagnoses, treatment, medical record number, lab results, patient number, provider name, and treatment location

  • Health Insurance Information: Plan name, plan type, insurance company details, and member/group ID numbers

  • Billing, Claims, and Payment Data: Claim numbers, billing details, bank account information (including bank name, account number, and routing number), billing codes, payment card details, and financial information

  • Additional Identifiers: Social Security Number, driver’s license or state ID number, passport number, date of birth, and other government identifiers

For LSC workers, the information may also include details about their dependents or beneficiaries if provided to LSC.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from the Laboratory Services Cooperative, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before the notice arrives.

Steps to Take if You Were Affected by the Laboratory Services Cooperative Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Laboratory Services Cooperative. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify communications directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to detect suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary if applying for credit.
