Learn More
Birch Medical, a healthcare services company specializing in advanced diagnostic and laboratory testing solutions, is reporting a data breach that potentially compromised sensitive patient information.
Birch Medical first became aware of the potential security incident in September 2024, when the company detected that unauthorized parties may have gained access to certain files on their computer system. The company launched an investigation.
The investigation was unable to conclusively confirm whether any files were actually accessed by unauthorized individuals. The potentially compromised folders contained confidential consumer information including:
- Names of patients
- Medical information
The nature of the attack and the number of affected individuals is not disclosed.
Birch Medical began sending out data breach notification letters to all individuals whose information was potentially affected by the security incident.
