What happened
According to PRN Healthcare's filing with the Maine Attorney General, a single spreadsheet containing staffing information was inadvertently forwarded to an unknown recipient on April 28, 2026. The company identifies that date as both the incident date and its discovery date, indicating the error was recognized when it occurred.
Following discovery, PRN Healthcare conducted a review to identify the scope of the incident and the individuals whose information was included in the spreadsheet. On May 25, 2026, the company filed a breach notification with the Maine Attorney General. Notice letters were mailed to affected individuals on May 28, 2026. The company states it has no evidence of fraud or identity theft resulting from the incident. As a precaution, it is offering complimentary identity monitoring, credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity-theft restoration through Kroll to individuals who received a notice letter.
The data element identified in the company's regulatory filing is the affected individual's name. No financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, or medical information were listed as compromised in the public filing. Because PRN Healthcare operates in the healthcare staffing sector, individuals who received a notice may want to confirm with their personal letter whether any employment-related information was also included.
