On October 3, 2023, a well-known ransomware gang announced that it was able to steal 6 TB of data from McLaren Health Care Corporation (“McLaren”). Based on the hackers’ claims, the incident could impact as many as 2.5 million patients. McLaren is still in the process of identifying what was stolen and who was affected. However, upon completing its investigation, McLaren will likely send out data breach notification letters to all individuals whose information was affected by the recent data security incident.
If you receive a data breach notification from McLaren Health Care Corporation, it is essential you understand what is at risk and what you can do about it. A data breach lawyer can help you learn more about how to protect yourself from becoming a victim of fraud or identity theft, as well as discuss your legal options following a possible McLaren Health Care data breach.
