MAK Anesthesia (“MAK”) has announced a recent data breach incident affecting data handled by its third-party vendor Nationwide Recovery Services, Inc. (“NRS”). MAK is notifying individuals whose sensitive data may have been compromised in this breach and is providing resources to assist in protecting their information. Affected individuals are urged to stay vigilant by regularly reviewing their personal information and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.

MAK Anesthesia Data Breach Details

On July 11, 2024, MAK’s third-party vendor, NRS, identified a cybersecurity issue that involved unauthorized access to its network. The breach, which occurred between July 5 and July 11, 2024, led to an unknown actor copying files from NRS’s systems. NRS did not inform MAK of the breach until February 17, 2025, when it was revealed that the breach might have affected MAK’s patient data. Although MAK has no evidence suggesting that its network was involved, the data within NRS’s control was potentially impacted.

A comprehensive review conducted by MAK in April 2025 confirmed that sensitive information, including names, dates of birth, addresses, medical information, and Social Security numbers, was likely compromised.

What Information Was Involved?

The compromised information may include personal data such as:

  • Names
  • Dates of birth
  • Addresses
  • Medical information
  • Social Security numbers

How Individuals Can Find Out if They Are Affected

MAK is sending out notification letters to individuals whose data was found in the compromised files. These letters will be mailed to those for whom a valid address is available. If an individual does not receive a letter but suspects they may be affected, they can contact MAK’s dedicated assistance line for more information.

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 before the official notice arrives.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Information

If you believe you were affected by the breach, there are several steps you can take to protect your personal information:

  1. Monitor Your Credit Reports: Review your credit reports for any suspicious activity or errors. You are entitled to one free report per year from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

  2. Activate Free Credit Monitoring: Enroll in the free credit monitoring services offered by Boston Medical Center through IDX. The service includes:

    • Daily credit report updates

    • Identity theft insurance coverage up to $1 million

    • Identity Restoration services for resolving fraud issues

    • Additional fraud protection features

  3. Place a Fraud Alert or Credit Freeze: You can place a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit file with each of the three bureaus to prevent unauthorized access.

  4. Create Strong Passwords and Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Strengthen your security by using complex passwords for your accounts, avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites, and activate MFA wherever possible.

  5. Watch for Phishing Attempts: Be wary of phishing attempts, especially those that may claim to be from Boston Medical Center or other institutions asking for personal details.
