What happened
LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. ("LeMaitre"), a publicly traded medical device manufacturer headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, experienced a data security incident. According to the company, its investigation determined that certain files containing personal information were accessed without authorization. The notice does not state when the incident occurred or when it was discovered.
LeMaitre mailed notification letters dated September 18, 2026 and reported the incident to the Massachusetts and Vermont regulators the same day. The Massachusetts filing lists 955 affected individuals, all Massachusetts residents. The data reported as involved includes Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and medical information. The company states it has no evidence of misuse and is offering 24 months of complimentary identity protection through Cyberscout (TransUnion), with an enrollment deadline of December 18, 2026.
Because the exposed data combines government identifiers with medical information, affected individuals may face elevated risk of identity theft and medical identity fraud. Whether LeMaitre's security practices met legal standards, and how long it took to notify affected individuals, are among the issues being evaluated.
