What was the December 2024 Data Breach?

Recently, Pacific Rehabilitation Centers disclosed a significant data breach that potentially impacted thousands of individuals. According to official disclosures, the breach was reported to the Montana Attorney General's office on December 30, 2024, and to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on February 11, 2025.

The breach exposed sensitive personal and medical information of approximately 18,900 individuals nationwide, including 18,600 people in the state of Montana alone.

The compromised data included:

  • Names
  • Addresses
  • Diagnosis and treatment information
  • Social Security numbers
  • Health plan numbers
  • Banking information for direct deposit
  • Dates of birth
  • Email addresses
  • Driver's license numbers
  • Citizenship status
  • Passport numbers
  • Dependent personal information
  • Electronic signatures

Given the highly sensitive nature of the exposed information, affected individuals face an increased risk of identity theft, financial fraud, and other harmful consequences.

Your Rights and Next Steps

If your personal information was exposed in this data breach, you have important rights. You may be eligible to join a class action lawsuit and seek compensation for damages, including costs associated with identity theft protection, credit monitoring, and emotional distress.

Here are some immediate steps you can take to protect yourself:

  1. Monitor Your Accounts: Regularly check your bank statements, credit reports, and medical statements for any suspicious activity or unauthorized charges.
  2. Place a Fraud Alert: Contact one of the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion) to place a fraud alert on your credit file. This will help prevent identity thieves from opening new accounts in your name.
  3. Consider a Credit Freeze: A credit freeze restricts access to your credit reports, making it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts.
  4. Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any unauthorized transactions, immediately report them to your financial institution and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at https://www.ftc.gov.
  5. Stay Informed: Regularly check updates provided by Pacific Rehabilitation Centers at their official notice page: https://www.pacificrehabilitation.com/notice-of-data-security-incident.
