Health Care Firm Hacked, Affecting 211,000 Americans – Names, Birthdays and Other Personal Info Stolen: Report
A US-based health care company says it has been hacked, exposing 211,000 of its clients personal information.
On July 3, 2025, UI Community HomeCare told clients that someone gained unauthorized access to the computer system of the University of Iowa Community HomeCare, an affiliate of the company.
Says the company in a letter to customers,
“UI Community HomeCare quickly took action to protect their patients and prevent further harm by shutting down their servers and bringing in cybersecurity experts to investigate. They were able to safely restore systems within one business day.
After further investigation, we learned that a cybercriminal was able to see and take copies of data in UI Community HomeCare’s computer system, which included some shared data files containing information from a group of UI Health Care patients.”
After an investigation, the company says it learned that a cybercriminal was able to see and take copies of data in UI Community HomeCare’s computer system, including some shared data files containing information from UI Health Care patients.
The information exposed may have included an individual’s name, date of birth, medical record number, provider, type of visit, insurance information and date of service.
The company asserts that there is no indication that its customers’ data was misused, but recommends patients to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing personal account statements.
