Aria Care Partners

Aria Care Partners, based in Overland Park, Kansas, experienced a significant data breach that was reported in May 2023. The cybersecurity incident led to unauthorized access to the company’s vision file server. A forensic investigation concluded in December 2023 confirmed that personal and protected health information (PHI) of individuals was exposed. The compromised data included names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, medical diagnosis data, medical insurance policy numbers, doctor or medical facility details, patient account numbers, and health condition or treatment data. In response to the breach, Aria Care Partners mailed notification letters to the impacted individuals on January 19, 2024, offering them free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services, along with an identity theft insurance policy, identity theft recovery, and dark web monitoring services worth $1 million. The incident has been reported to the appropriate authorities, although it has not yet been posted on the Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights breach website. The exact number of individuals affected by the breach remains unclear[13].
