Lumexa Data Breach Exposes Montana Residents | Butte News

A North Carolina imaging company, Lumexa, suffered a major data breach in early April, exposing personal and medical info of nearly 3,000 people nationwide—including residents of Butte, Montana. Affected individuals received breach notices in June, but many dismissed them as scams. The leaked data includes names, birth dates, addresses, phone numbers, insurance details, and sensitive clinical records like diagnoses and visit histories. Lumexa admits it’s a HIPAA violation and says it’s fixed the issue by removing faulty software, resetting passwords, and adding cybersecurity monitoring. They’re urging affected users to monitor bank accounts and offer free credit monitoring if Social Security numbers were compromised. Montana isn’t part of any class-action suit yet, and the Butte hospital is preparing a statement. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
