What Happened?

A recent report from the Maine Attorney General's Office states that the Regional Care data breach occurred due to unauthorized network access.

Regional Care secured their systems and launched an investigation that confirmed that the compromised information includes:

• Names

• Medical information
• Health insurance information

After a comprehensive review of the affected files, data breach letters were sent out by Regional Care on December 16, 2024, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and specific data that may have been compromised in their case.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

   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. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Regional Care

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
