Labcorp will pay approximately $2.3 million and make significant changes to how it protects patient information shared with outside vendors following an investigation into a massive 2019 data breach involving a third-party medical debt collector.
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced September 24 that New York had joined a bipartisan coalition of 43 other attorneys general in reaching the agreement with Laboratory Corporation of America, better known as Labcorp. According to the New York Attorney General’s announcement, the underlying breach potentially exposed personal information belonging to more than 27.5 million people nationwide.
