Saber Healthcare Group Reports Data Security Incident

Saber Healthcare Group has announced a data security incident that may involve the personal information of certain individuals. The breach was detected on July 27, 2026, when the company experienced a service outage impacting its internal and external computer systems.

Upon discovering the outage, Saber took immediate action to secure its systems and enlisted the help of external cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident. The investigation revealed that an unauthorized party gained access to Saber's corporate network and encrypted a portion of its files, leading to the service outage.

Importantly, Saber's electronic medical record system, which is managed by an external provider, was not affected by this incident. The company has stated that there is no evidence to suggest that the medical records database was accessed, altered, or copied during the breach. Backup copies of the affected files were used to restore access within 24 to 48 hours, ensuring no data loss occurred.

Saber has reviewed the files that may have been compromised, which could contain various types of personal information, including names, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, health insurance details, and Social Security numbers. As part of their response, the company began notifying potentially affected individuals by mail on August 19, 2026.

In an effort to mitigate the impact of the breach, Saber is offering credit monitoring and identity protection services at no cost to those affected. The company has also implemented additional security measures to prevent future incidents and has not detected any ongoing unauthorized activity since these enhancements.

Individuals are encouraged to monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious activity. They can also reach out to credit reporting agencies to place fraud alerts or freezes on their accounts. Saber Healthcare Group continues to cooperate with cybersecurity experts to ensure the integrity of its systems.
