United Faith Ministries Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent United Faith Ministries data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cybersecurity incident at United Faith Ministries, which may have affected individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Texas Attorney General's office states that the United Faith Ministries data breach occurred due to a cybersecurity incident that allowed unauthorized access to the organization's computer network. The organization, operating as Unite Health Share Ministries (UHSM), filed a formal notice of data breach on March 11, 2025, after completing an internal investigation into the security event.

The investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party gained access to confidential consumer information that had been provided to the organization. While specific details about the method of intrusion remain limited, the breach has resulted in the exposure of sensitive personal data. The types of information compromised in this breach include:

• Full names
• Home addresses
• Health insurance information
• Dates of birth

Based on typical protocol, data breach notification letters would likely have been distributed following the Texas Attorney General filing on March 11, 2025. However, the exact timing of these notifications may vary according to the organization's procedures. When sent, these letters should inform affected individuals about the specific types of personal information that may have been compromised in their individual cases.
