What happened
According to the consumer notice filed with the South Carolina Attorney General, Lumexa Imaging provides administrative services to affiliated radiology practices and imaging centers and had contracted with a vendor to provide non-clinical operational support. On April 9, 2026, the vendor notified Lumexa Imaging that it was investigating suspicious activity within a portion of its network dedicated to the affiliated radiology practices and imaging centers. Lumexa Imaging immediately disconnected its systems from the vendor's environment.
On April 15, 2026, Lumexa Imaging learned that an unauthorized person may have viewed or obtained copies of documents containing patient information from the vendor's system. Lumexa Imaging states that documents were taken between March 31, 2026 and April 9, 2026. The notice states that the information involved varied by document and by individual and may have included names; identifiers such as date of birth, address, phone number, Social Security number, and patient account number; insurance information; and clinical information including visit dates, diagnoses, or other health information related to radiology services. Lumexa Imaging is offering complimentary identity monitoring services through Kroll, including credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration. The notice does not specify the duration of the Kroll services.
Because Lumexa Imaging supports affiliated radiology practices that furnish health care services, the incident implicates federal protections governing the security of protected health information. Whether Lumexa Imaging's vendor oversight and pre-incident security practices met applicable legal standards, and whether the exposure of Social Security numbers together with radiology-related clinical information caused additional harm to patients, are among the issues being evaluated.
