Delta Health System Data Breach Investigation

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Delta Health System data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Delta Health System, which may have affected an undetermined number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Attorney General of Montana states that the Delta Health System data breach occurred due to a cyber security attack that was discovered on January 21, 2024 after the company detected unusual activity within its computer network. Delta Health launched an investigation that confirmed that between January 15, 2024 and January 21, 2024, an unauthorized party accessed its IT network and files that contained patient information. Delta Health System reviewed the files to determine which consumers were impacted and what information was compromised. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include: 

• names,
• addresses,
• phone numbers,
• email addresses,
• dates of birth,
• Social Security Numbers,
• driver’s license numbers,
• state ID numbers,
• financial account information,
• medical information,
• and health insurance information

Data breach letters were sent out by Delta Health System on September 5, 2024 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
