Sunflower Medical Group Data Breach Class Action Investigation

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Sunflower Medical Group data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Sunflower Medical Group, which may have affected as many as 220,968 individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Maine Attorney General's office states that the Sunflower Medical Group data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident. The breach was discovered on January 7, 2025, when unusual activity was detected within the organization's IT network.

Upon investigation by cybersecurity experts, it was determined that an unauthorized party had accessed Sunflower's systems weeks earlier, on December 15, 2024. During this unauthorized access period, the intruder obtained confidential information stored within the organization's databases. The compromised data includes highly sensitive personal and medical information such as:

• names,
• addresses,
• dates of birth,
• Social Security numbers,
• driver's license numbers,
• medical information,
• and health insurance information.

The specific combination of data elements exposed varies by individual, with some patients having more information compromised than others. Data breach letters were sent out by Sunflower Medical Group on March 7, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific categories of their personal information that may have been exposed during the breach.
