Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Logan Health Over Data Breach Logan Health and subsidiary, sister, and related entities are facing a legal action because of a data breach that happened in 2021 and impacted 213,543 patients of Logan Health Medical Center. Law firm Heenan & Cook filed the class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana Great Falls Division on behalf of plaintiff Allison Smeltz along with all individuals similarly affected by the health system’s alleged failure to keep the plaintiff’s and class members’ sensitive personal data secure. Logan Health reported the data breach in question in February 2022. The breach investigation results confirmed that unauthorized persons got access to its system from November 18, 2021 to November 22, 2021. The attackers acquired access to one file server keeping files that included patients’ protected health information (PHI) like names, contact details, insurance claim data, date(s) of service, medical insurance data, and medical bill account number. Logan Health stated it did not find any evidence of patient data misuse. It offered free credit monitoring and identity protection services to the impacted persons, and is implementing extra measures to avert the same data breaches.
