NextGen Healthcare Confirms Breach Of Over 1 Million Individuals’ Personal Info
ATLANTA, GA – A security incident has surfaced and you may or may not have been affected. NextGen Healthcare, a healthcare solutions provider, suffered a data breach that exposed the personal information of over 1 million individuals.
According to the company, Hackers had access to NextGen systems from March 29 to April 14, 2023, compromising personal information such as full names, addresses, birthdates, and social security numbers. If exploited, cybercriminals can use this information to commit identity theft.

As always, you should take steps to help protect yourself. Check to make sure that you’re updating any software you use, changing your passwords often, and always watching out for phishing attempts.
