What happened in the Sharecare Health Data Services data breach
Sharecare Health Data Services, based in Atlanta, Georgia, provides records release services for health providers, assisting with the production of records in response to requests from patients, their attorneys, and other requestors. According to its notice letter dated November 6, 2026, an unauthorized actor gained access to its network environment and exfiltrated a limited number of files. The letter says the impacted systems were accessed on or about July 17, 2026.
The letter says that after a forensic investigation and manual document review, the company discovered on August 19, 2026 that the impacted systems contained some personal information and/or protected health information. It states that medical records were not compromised and that the compromised documents included records request pages, authorization documents, and other similar request-related documentation. The posted letter lists full name, and the rest of that sentence is blank in the posted copy.

The letter also states that Rhode Island residents were impacted. The name of the entity for which Sharecare Health Data Services received the information is left blank in the posted letter.
