North Florida Women’s Care Data Breach

A Tallahassee OB-GYN practice has confirmed a data breach involving Social Security numbers and medical records. So far, only a small out-of-state slice of the affected patients has been counted publicly.

North Florida Women’s Care, an obstetrics and gynecology practice based in Tallahassee, Florida, has confirmed a data breach affecting patient information. A filing with the Texas Attorney General, published August 14, 2026, confirms 253 Texas residents affected and states that notice letters have been sent. North Florida Women’s Care has not publicly disclosed the date it discovered the incident.

The Confirmed Number Is Only a Fragment

North Florida Women’s Care is based in Florida, so the 253 affected Texas residents confirmed so far represent an out-of-state fragment of the full picture, not the whole class. The bulk of the practice’s patients are Florida residents, and that portion of the affected population has not yet been made public. The true total is likely substantially larger than 253.

Why Reproductive Health Data Is Especially Sensitive

This breach involves an OB-GYN practice, meaning the exposed medical information can include pregnancy, fertility, and gynecological treatment records. Reproductive health information is among the most sensitive categories of medical data a person has, and its exposure can carry personal and safety consequences well beyond the identity-theft risk that comes with a typical data breach.

What Information Was Exposed?

According to the Texas Attorney General filing, the information involved included:

• Names
• Addresses
• Social Security numbers
• Dates of birth
• Medical information

How Many People Are Affected?

At least 253 Texas residents, per the Texas Attorney General’s published filing. North Florida Women’s Care has not disclosed the total number of affected patients, including the Florida-resident population where the practice is based.

What Is North Florida Women’s Care Offering Affected Individuals?

North Florida Women’s Care has not publicly disclosed whether it is offering credit monitoring or identity protection services. Anyone who received a notice letter should review it directly for any enrollment instructions. Individuals with questions can contact the practice at 850-877-7241.

Your Information Is at Risk

A Social Security number combined with a date of birth and address is enough to open new credit or file a fraudulent tax return in someone’s name. Because this breach also involves medical information from an OB-GYN practice, affected individuals face an added risk: reproductive health details becoming known to people who were never meant to see them. Affected individuals should watch financial accounts and insurance statements for unfamiliar activity, pull a free credit report, and consider a credit freeze.

Do You Have Legal Options?

Medical practices that collect Social Security numbers and health information have a legal duty to secure that data. When that duty is not met, affected individuals may have legal rights and remedies worth discussing with an attorney.

Your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) includes information that can be used to identify you, such as your name and other personal details. Organizations that manage healthcare data are legally required to safeguard this information. When PII is exposed in a data breach, it can potentially be used by cybercriminals to commit identity theft, financial fraud, or other misuse.

Much of the information involved in this incident may also qualify as Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI includes medical or healthcare-related data protected under federal and state privacy laws. When PHI is compromised, it can be misused for medical identity theft or insurance fraud.

Residents of California may be entitled to additional protections under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which provides enhanced rights regarding the collection, use, and safeguarding of personal information.
