A major cybersecurity incident has exposed sensitive personal, medical and financial records of more than half a million Americans.

In a data breach notification, the Office of the Maine Attorney General says the California-based non-profit organization NorthBay Healthcare Corporation experienced an external system breach affecting 569,012 Americans.

In a notice sent to affected people, NorthBay Health says an unauthorized entity gained access to the firm’s computer systems between January 11th, 2024 and April 1st of the same year.

The firm also says that an internal investigation revealed that the data breach exposed the records of individuals including names, birthdays, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, financial account numbers, medical information, biometric information, health insurance information, driver’s license numbers and state or other government-issued identification numbers.

The hackers also siphoned highly sensitive data including usernames and passwords, credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, security codes and personal identification numbers (PINs).

NorthBay Health says it has revamped its security protocols to prevent witnessing similar data breaches in the future. The firm is also recommending that impacted customers keep a close watch on their credit reports and account statements, offering a free one-year membership to Experian IdentityWorks.

“If you detect any suspicious activity on an account, you should promptly notify the financial institution or company with which the account is maintained.”

NorthBay Health says that it has so far not detected any misuse of its customer data for fraud or identity theft.
