Adaptive Health Integrations

Adaptive Health Integrations, a North Dakota-based company, experienced a significant data breach that was first identified around October 17, 2021. The breach was publicly disclosed in April 2022, revealing that an unauthorized individual had gained access to the company’s computer systems. This incident led to the potential exposure of personal information belonging to over 510,000 individuals[4][6].

The types of personal information that may have been accessed include names, dates of birth, contact information, and Social Security numbers. However, it’s important to note that not all patients of Adaptive Health Integrations were affected, and not all types of information were compromised for those who were[3].

Upon discovering the breach, Adaptive Health Integrations took immediate action to contain the threat by disabling unauthorized access to their network. The company also launched a comprehensive investigation with the help of external cybersecurity professionals to understand the scope and impact of the breach. This investigation concluded on February 23, 2022[3].

To mitigate the potential impact on affected individuals, Adaptive Health Integrations has offered complimentary credit monitoring services to those whose Social Security numbers were potentially impacted. Additionally, the company has advised all affected individuals to review their health insurance benefit statements closely and report any unrecognized items or services[3].

Adaptive Health Integrations has expressed a strong commitment to safeguarding the personal information in its possession and has implemented several precautions to enhance data security. For individuals seeking more information or wondering if they are impacted and eligible for credit monitoring services, the company has established a dedicated toll-free response line[3].

The breach has also led to legal repercussions for Adaptive Health Integrations, including a proposed class action lawsuit over the exposure of consumers’ personal information[8]. This incident underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and the potential consequences of data breaches on both organizations and individuals.
