Laboratory Services Cooperative (LSC) reported a cybersecurity incident that might have resulted in the compromise of patient and employee data. This incident primarily affects individuals at Planned Parenthood centers that rely on LSC for lab testing. The breach, discovered in October 2024, involved unauthorized access and removal of files, including sensitive personal and clinical information. LSC is working with cybersecurity specialists to investigate the breach and assess the extent of the compromised data, which may include health insurance and billing information as well as personal identifiers like Social Security numbers.
The breach involved malicious actors accessing and removing files from the LSC network, potentially compromising a significant range of personal and clinical information.
While not all Planned Parenthood centers were affected, individuals who received lab testing services from LSC may have compromised personal and medical details.
The healthcare provider took immediate action by involving third-party cybersecurity experts to assess the breach's scope and mitigate further risks.
Compromised data categories include clinical, health insurance, billing, and additional personal information such as Social Security numbers, raising significant privacy concerns.
