What happened in the HCIactive data breach
According to its notice letter, on or about July 22, 2025, HCIactive, based in Ellicott City, Maryland, became aware of suspicious activity related to its computer network. The investigation determined that between on or about July 8, 2025, and July 12, 2025, an unauthorized actor copied certain files from HCIactive's computer network. HCIactive later determined that individuals' information was contained within the files that were potentially acquired by the unauthorized actor. The letter says HCIactive stores personal information on its systems as it provides administrative services, and that it is providing notice on behalf of another organization, whose name is left blank in the sample letter.
The Indiana Attorney General lists notices as sent on December 2, 2025. In a supplemental notice dated October 30, 2026 and sent to the New Hampshire Attorney General, HCIactive's counsel said HCIactive began providing written notice on a rolling basis beginning on or around December 3, 2025, as it received directions from requesting customers, and commenced its final wave of written notice on or about August 14, 2026. The sample letter says your name was potentially impacted in combination with other information, but the rest of that list is blank in the posted copy. The Texas filing lists name, address, Social Security number information, medical information, health insurance information and date of birth. The letter offers complimentary credit monitoring through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company.
HCIactive reported 87,565 affected individuals to the Texas Attorney General, including 32,493 Texans, in a report posted by the Texas Attorney General on December 5, 2025. It reported the same total of 87,565 affected individuals to the Indiana Attorney General, including 297 Indiana residents. The New Hampshire notice covers 12,737 New Hampshire residents. Whether HCIactive's security practices met legal standards, and whether the time taken to notify people caused added harm, are among the issues being evaluated.
