Lucent Health Data Breach Class Action Investigation

Written by Console & Associates P.C. | Feb 4, 2025 4:00:00 AM

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Lucent Health data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a phishing incident at Lucent Health, which exposed sensitive personal identifiable information of an undisclosed number of individuals.

 

What Happened?

According to a filing with the California Attorney General's office, the Lucent Health data breach occurred due to a phishing attack that targeted the company's email system. On October 2, 2023, a Lucent Health manager in California fell victim to a phishing email that appeared to originate from a trusted source. The company's IT team demonstrated rapid response capabilities by identifying and terminating the unauthorized access within 90 minutes of the incident. The compromised information may include:

  • Names
  • Social Security numbers
  • Dates of birth
  • Health insurance information
  • Dental insurance information
  • Vision insurance policy information

Data breach letters were sent out by Lucent Health on January 30, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and their specific compromised data.

 

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
    2. Understand this prevents new accounts from being opened in your name
    3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit

  3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the Lucent Health data breach
    1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Lucent Health
    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
