What Happened?
A recent report indicated that Archer Health, Inc. was involved in a data security incident that exposed sensitive information. A cybersecurity researcher discovered an unsecured database, left accessible online without password protection or encryption, containing roughly 145,000 files. These files included discharge summaries, home health certifications, treatment notes, and internal records.
Analysis of the exposed materials confirmed that they contained personally identifiable information (PII), such as patient names, contact details, Social Security numbers, and patient ID numbers. Medical documents also revealed diagnoses, admission and discharge dates, care plans, and other protected health information. Additionally, screenshots of healthcare management software and folders named with patients’ first and last names were found, further indicating the data was linked to Archer Health.
The source stated that the researcher notified Archer Health of the exposure, after which the database was secured within hours. In response to the disclosure, Archer Health acknowledged the notification, stating: “Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take data security and patient privacy very seriously. Our team is actively investigating this matter and will address any security issues promptly.”
As of September 26, 2025, Archer Health has not issued a public statement confirming the incident or clarifying whether the exposure constituted a formal data breach.
Notification letters outlining the scope of impacted information and providing protective measures will be sent to affected individuals following the conclusion of the investigation.
