What happened
Persante Health Care, based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, manages sleep and balance centers for medical facilities. In late 2025 it told the public about a cyberattack on its network.
According to the HIPAA Journal's report on the notice, Persante became aware of unusual activity on its network on or about 28 January 2025. It reviewed the data that might have been involved and determined on or about 3 October 2025 that personal or protected health information of certain people may have been involved. It posted a public notice and began mailing letters on 26 November 2025. The FBI was informed.
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) breach portal lists 111,815 people affected and classes the cause as a hacking or IT incident. Persante works with other healthcare organizations, so you might hear about the incident from a clinic or hospital you visited rather than from Persante itself.
The notice letter sets out which details were involved for each person, and it varies. Check yours. Health and identity details in the wrong hands can be used for medical identity theft, fake insurance claims and targeted phishing that references real providers or appointments.
If you get a letter, read it all the way through, use any free identity protection it offers before the deadline, and follow the steps below.
