Did others get notice that their medical information at Lincare was improperly accessed by unknown persons?
Wondering how widespread this security breach is.

Re: Lincare security breach
If you don't know, it is best to assume the breach included you.
Ask your credit card company if your card was affected,
then help restore your security, usually for no charge.
This is just one reason why we warn everyone to avoid
giving your numbers to any DME.

Re: Lincare security breach
Yes, I did receive the notice about the security breach at LinCare. But I was not associated with LinCare at the time of this security breach.
I hope that they got it fixed, or plugged.

Re: Lincare security breach
If you did business with them at ANY time, your records could have been accessed.
Some companies retain financial and personal data long after it is needed.
Even after asked to delete it. They can never be trusted . . .
