CriticalConfirmedHealthcare
AdaptHealth, a US home medical equipment provider, discovered unauthorized access to its systems in July 2026, tracing back to a compromise on June 5 achieved through social engineering targeting a third-party contractor's account. Exposed data includes patients' names, addresses, dates of birth, and health information. AdaptHealth states it found no evidence of identity theft or fraud linked to the incident and is offering affected individuals 12 months of free credit monitoring.
The exposed health and identity information could enable insurance fraud or targeted phishing attempts, though it does not include banking data or Social Security numbers.
