Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been warned after a Texas-based healthcare company was hit by a major cybersecurity incident.
In a new filing with the Maine Attorney General’s Office, Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital He says 257,073 people were affected by a data breach that allowed an “unauthorized party” to access their computer network and information systems.
Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital is a government-owned general medical and surgical facility providing inpatient and outpatient surgery, intensive care (ICU), emergency care, and imaging.
The hospital says a hacker entered its systems and stole files containing personal or health information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, medical record numbers, account numbers, health plan beneficiary numbers and possible full-face photographs.
“On January 31, 2026, Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital became aware of a data security incident resulting from a cyberattack in which an unauthorized party compromised Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital’s computer network and information systems. We immediately notified law enforcement, initiated an incident response plan, and began an investigation.
“In re-securing our computer network environment from the unauthorized party, we strengthened and enhanced our network security and completed an investigation to determine the extent of unauthorized activity within Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital’s computer network.”
Nacogdoches urges its patients to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious activity or misuse of personal information to authorities. At this time, the healthcare company says it has not seen evidence of patient information being misused.
