Texas-based care provider HMG Healthcare says hackers stole unencrypted patient data

HMG Healthcare says hackers accessed the data of residents and employees — but admits it doesn't known what types of data were stolen.

HMG Healthcare is headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, and provides a range of services, including memory care, rehabilitation, and assisted living. In a notice published on its website, HMG chief executive Derek Prince confirmed that hackers in August accessed a server storing “unencrypted files” containing sensitive information belonging to patients, employees, and their dependents. However, a filing with the Texas attorney general submitted by HMG on Monday confirms that approximately 75,000 Texans were impacted by the breach; though it’s not known how many non-state residents are affected.
