Pennyroyal Healthcare Patients Face Data Breach After Network Intrusion
Patients of Princeton-based Pennyroyal Healthcare Services have been notified of a significant data breach following an unauthorized network intrusion that occurred in early January. The incident exposed a vast array of sensitive personal and medical records, prompting the organization to launch a formal investigation and establish a dedicated support center for those affected.
Exposed records include Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, passport details, and Medicaid IDs, alongside extensive clinical data such as diagnosis codes, treatment locations, mental health history, and payment card information. While Pennyroyal maintains that it has found no evidence of data misuse to date, the breadth of the compromised files necessitates heightened vigilance from those impacted. The organization began issuing formal notices to affected individuals on July 24 and has opened a toll-free call center at 1-833-851-9448 to assist with recovery and security concerns.
