REMSA Health Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent REMSA Health (Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority "REMSA") data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident affecting REMSA Health's Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system, with the total number of affected individuals yet to be determined as the investigation continues.

What Happened?

According to recent reports, REMSA Health experienced a cyber security incident that was detected by their internal security and anti-virus systems. On February 5, 2025, the organization's Chief Operating Officer issued a company-wide notification regarding unauthorized access to their Computer Aided Dispatch system, which plays a crucial role in supporting emergency medical dispatch operations.

As a precautionary measure, REMSA Health temporarily suspended employee computer access while assessing the situation. While the CAD system has been restored to operation, the organization is currently conducting a thorough investigation to determine whether any sensitive patient or employee information was compromised during the incident.
