Frederick Health Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Frederick Health data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
A ransomware attack disrupted Frederick Health Hospital's IT systems on January 27, 2025, prompting the facility to take systems offline and divert incoming ambulances to nearby emergency departments, reports say.
Frederick Health later secured its systems and notified law enforcement authorities. An investigation conducted with support from an external forensic firm indicated that an unauthorized individual accessed Frederick Health's network on January 25 and copied files from a file-sharing server.
Information impacted in the Frederick Health data breach varied by patient but may have included names, addresses, birthdates, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, medical record numbers, health insurance details and clinical information not contained in electronic medical records.
The Maryland-based healthcare provider is notifying affected individuals by mail, provided the patient's current contact information is available.
If your information was exposed in the breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Frederick Health to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
