Dove Healthcare Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Dove Healthcare data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Dove Healthcare, which may have affected as many as 16,255 individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Maine Attorney General's Office states that the Dove Healthcare data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident. The breach initially took place on July 6, 2024, when unauthorized actors gained access to the company's network systems.

The healthcare provider promptly alerted federal law enforcement authorities and engaged cybersecurity specialists to conduct a comprehensive investigation. However, it wasn't until March 6, 2025—approximately eight months later—that Dove Healthcare confirmed certain files containing confidential patient information had been compromised through unauthorized access. The exposed information varies by individual but potentially includes:

• Full names
• Dates of birth
• Social Security numbers
• Driver's license numbers
• Medical information and history
• Health insurance details
• Full-face photographic images

Data breach notification letters were sent out by Dove Healthcare on March 18, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific types of personal data that may have been compromised in their individual cases.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
   1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
   2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
   3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries
      
      
2. Consider freezing your credit
   1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze

   3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit
      
      
3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the Dove Healthcare data breach
   1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Dove Healthcare
   2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
   3. Verify all communications through official channels
      
      
4. Change passwords for affected accounts
   1. Create strong, unique passwords for each account
   2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
   3. Consider using a password manager for better security
      
      
5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
   1. Add this extra layer of security to all important accounts
   2. Use authenticator apps rather than SMS when available
   3. Keep backup codes in a secure location
