On August 5, 2024, McLaren Health Care (“McLaren”) identified suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, McLaren determined that cybercriminals infiltrated the inadequately secured computer systems of McLaren Health Care and Karmanos Cancer Institute. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals accessed and stole files containing the sensitive personal information of 743,131 individuals.
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Medical information
- Health insurance information
- Driver’s license numbers
As a result of the McLaren data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
Murphy Law Firm is investigating claims on behalf of all individuals whose personal and confidential information was potentially compromised in the data breach. We are evaluating legal options, including a potential class action lawsuit, to recover damages for individuals who were affected by the McLaren Health Care data breach.
