Clerk's notes

IU Health, a prominent healthcare provider in Indiana, formally reported a data security incident on August 10, 2026. This breach involved an unauthorized compromise of its network systems, impacting patient data managed by the organization.

The information reported as exposed includes individuals' Full Name, Date of Birth, and Social Security Number. Also compromised were Medical Record Number, Health Insurance ID Number, Diagnosis and Treatment Information, Prescription Information, and Provider and Treatment Dates.
