AdaptHealth confirms 4.1 million people exposed in July cyberattack
AdaptHealth confirmed a ShinyHunters-attributed cyberattack exposed data of 4.1 million patients via a compromised third-party contractor account.
Healthcare company AdaptHealth confirmed 4,115,802 individuals were exposed in an intrusion first disclosed in an SEC filing on July 2, 2026, with the compromise beginning June 5. Attackers used social engineering to compromise a privileged third-party contractor account, accessed cloud-based patient management, document storage and EHR portals, and exfiltrated names, contact details, demographic, insurance and health information before a June 15 ransom demand. The attack was attributed to the ShinyHunters group, though the company no longer appears on the gang's extortion portal. Impacted individuals are being offered 12 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection.
