What happened
Radiology Associates of Richmond, Inc. determined that an unauthorized actor gained access to parts of its network environment on or about July 25, 2025. The organization engaged outside cybersecurity professionals and conducted an extensive forensic review of the affected systems. On April 6, 2026, the investigation confirmed that certain files containing personal and protected health information were accessible during the intrusion. The breach was disclosed to the Maine Attorney General on May 21, 2026.
Following completion of the forensic review, Radiology Associates of Richmond conducted a manual document review to identify the specific individuals affected and began mailing notice letters in May 2026. According to the notice filed with the Maine Attorney General, full names were present in the affected systems. No credit monitoring service was offered as part of the company's response. No evidence of fraud or identity theft related to this incident has been reported to date.
Radiology Associates of Richmond is one of the oldest radiology practices in Richmond, Virginia, providing diagnostic imaging services across the region. Because the affected systems involved protected health information, this incident may carry implications under HIPAA and applicable state privacy laws. Patients are encouraged to review their Explanation of Benefits statements and monitor their accounts for any unfamiliar activity.
