In April 2026, Medtronic, Inc. (“Medtronic”) became aware of suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, Medtronic determined that cybercriminals infiltrated this inadequately secured network and gained access to its files. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals accessed files containing the sensitive personal information of hundreds of thousands of individuals.
The personal information exposed in the data breach includes:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Medical information
- Addresses
- Dates of birth
As a result of the Medtronic 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 Medtronic data breach.
