Sunflower Medical Group, P.A. (“Sunflower”) recently disclosed a data breach affecting 220,968 individuals, including 36 residents of Maine. The breach, which was disclosed in a filing with the Attorney General of Maine, is still under investigation, and additional details may emerge in the coming weeks.

Sunflower Medical Group Data Breach Details

On January 7, 2025, Sunflower detected unauthorized access to its systems. The company immediately took action by securing its network and engaging a forensic security firm to investigate the breach.

On February 24, 2025, Sunflower determined that the stolen files contained personal information of impacted individuals.

Sunflower Medical Group is offering the identity protection package to affected individuals which includes:

  • Credit and CyberScan monitoring to detect fraudulent activity.
  • A $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy to cover identity theft-related losses.
  • Fully managed identity theft recovery services to assist affected individuals in restoring their financial security.

  • Health insurance information

  • Date of birth
  • Driver’s license number
  • Social Security number
  • Diagnosis or medical condition
  • Lab results

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Sunflower Medical Group, 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 Sunflower Medical Group Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Sunflower Medical Group. 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.
