Fort Wayne Medical Education Program Data Breach: Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
Fort Wayne Medical Education Program Security Incident: What Happened?
Fort Wayne Medical Education Program, which provides medical students with training, research opportunities, and a dually accredited residency program, is notifying individuals of a data privacy incident involving the personal information of patients, employees, and employees’ dependents.
The program, which is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, discovered unusual activity in its computer network on December 17, 2024. It engaged cybersecurity experts to investigate the event and, through the inquiry, learned that an unauthorized third party had accessed or acquired certain data from the network between December 12, 2024 and December 17, 2024.
A review completed on September 9, 2025 identified that for a limited number of employees and their dependents, the potentially compromised information included first and last names alongside Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state ID numbers, or passport numbers. For other individuals, personal and medical data may have been involved, including names, Social Security numbers, government ID numbers (such as driver’s license or passport numbers), dates of birth, medical histories, health insurance information, and medical billing details such as bank account and payment card numbers. The data involved varies by person.
According to a report submitted to the Maine Attorney General’s office, the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program data breach affected 29,485 people. Notices were mailed on October 2, 2025 to those whose information was involved and for whom the program had mailing addresses.
What You Can Do After the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program Data Breach
