Data Breaches CareCloud Data Breach Impacts Over 350,000 In March 2026, hackers stole personal, financial, and medical information from the company’s AWS environment. By Ionut Arghire | July 31, 2026 (3:51 AM ET) Flipboard Reddit Whatsapp Whatsapp Email Healthcare information technology company CareCloud is notifying at least 350,000 people that their information was stolen in a data breach. The incident involved an electronic health record environment within the CareCloud Health division, which was disrupted on March 16, 2026. CareCloud’s investigation determined that hackers accessed one of its AWS environments between March 10 and March 16, and likely exfiltrated data from it. On June 24, the investigation determined that personal, financial, and medical information was compromised in the incident, the company notes in the notification letter sent to the potentially affected individuals, a copy of which was filed with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. The potentially affected information, it says, includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, government ID numbers, financial account numbers, credit/debit card numbers, and medical and health insurance information. Based on filings with the Attorney General’s Offices in several states, at least 350,000 individuals have had their information stolen. Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.

CareCloud is continuing to strengthen the security of its systems and environments,” the company says. The healthcare organization has yet to share the total number of impacted individuals and details on the threat actor responsible for the attack.
