Bad actors have compromised a public medical school in Texas, leading to a massive data breach that’s placing the personal info of 813,892 people at risk.
The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center disclosed the breach to multiple state governments last week, noting that potentially impacted information includes names, birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government ID numbers, financial account information, health insurance information and medical records – including diagnosis and treatment info.
The school says it conducted a detailed review of its systems and claims that it is “not aware” of any identity theft or fraud associated with the breach, which occurred back in September 2024.
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center says it just recently concluded its investigation.
The school also says it is offering impacted victims 1-2 years of credit monitoring and identity restoration services through the cybersecurity firm IDX.
“We are reviewing existing security policies and procedures as part of the investigation and are implementing additional safeguards to enhance system protection and monitoring.”
