What happened
Medtronic Inc. reported a cybersecurity incident to the Massachusetts Attorney General on June 29, 2026. According to the notice, an unauthorized party accessed Medtronic systems and obtained files containing personal information. The filing lists 63,534 individuals as affected.
Medtronic began notifying affected individuals about the incident and offered 24 months of complimentary identity-protection services through Epiq Privacy Solutions ID, including credit monitoring, dark web surveillance, and identity-theft restoration support. The notice states that the information involved included medical information and Social Security numbers. The company advised affected individuals to remain vigilant, review account statements, and be cautious of unexpected communications requesting personal information.
Because the incident reportedly involved Social Security numbers and medical information, affected individuals may face an elevated risk of identity theft, medical-identity fraud, and misuse of protected health information. Our investigation focuses on whether Medtronic's data security practices met legal and industry standards.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the enrollment code for the identity-protection services and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free 24-month identity protection
Enroll in the Epiq Privacy Solutions ID monitoring offered in your letter before the stated deadline. Accepting this benefit does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide.
