Have you been affected by Loretto Hospital's data breach?

Loretto Hospital (“Loretto”) is notifying the public of a recent data security incident that may have impacted personal information. Affected individuals are urged to remain vigilant by regularly reviewing their personal information and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Loretto Hospital Data Breach Details

On January 17, 2025, Loretto identified suspicious activity within its computer network. Upon discovering the issue, the hospital immediately launched an investigation. The investigation revealed that the network had been accessed by an unknown actor between January 17, 2025, and February 1, 2025, during which time certain files were copied.

Additionally, due to this incident, data entered into the electronic medical record system between the evening of February 2, 2025, and the afternoon of February 3, 2025, was not saved. While Loretto worked diligently to restore and recover as much patient data as possible during this downtime, some records may not have been fully recovered or recreated.

Loretto is offering affected individuals access to free credit monitoring and medical identity protection services.

Personal Information Affected

The specific data involved may differ for each individual, but it could 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

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from the Loretto Hospital, 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 Loretto Hospital Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Loretto Hospital. 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.
