Episode Details

Lumexa, a national imaging company, suffered a major data breach in April exposing sensitive medical and personal info for nearly 3,000 people — including names, DOBs, addresses, insurance, and diagnoses. Despite sending out notices on June 12th, many recipients ignored them, thinking it was a scam. The breach involved unauthorized viewing of data, a serious HIPAA violation. Lumexa has since patched systems, reset passwords, and rolled out new security measures. Those with exposed Social Security numbers are offered free credit monitoring, and listeners are urged to monitor bank accounts for fraud. Updates are pending from Butte Hospital, and Montana is not part of any current class-action suit against Lumexa.
