CareNexa Molecular Testing Labs Data Breach Details:
In early 2025, Molecular Testing Labs, operating under CareNexa, LLC, encountered a security issue stemming from one of its external service providers. The problem came to light on March 11 when unusual activity was detected in systems managed by a data storage and protection partner. An immediate probe revealed that intruders had gained entry over a short period from March 7 to March 11, prompting the company to alert authorities and bring in outside experts to examine the situation. This event reportedly disrupted normal operations temporarily but was contained. The full extent of the data breach took time to assess, leading to a delayed public disclosure and individual alerts sent out in late 2025.
The intrusion reportedly involved unauthorized actors targeting the third-party vendor's infrastructure, which housed sensitive records for the lab. This allowed access to various personal details, including full names, home addresses, birth dates, identification numbers like those from driver's licenses or social security, and health-related records such as test results or treatment notes. The exact combination of information varied by person, but the potential exposure raised concerns about privacy risks. Initial reports indicated that around 7,711 people were involved, but more recent reports have increased that number to more than 27,000 affected individuals -- the figure could adjust as more details emerge from ongoing reviews.
In response, the lab worked with forensic teams to map out the breach and bolster defenses against future threats. They provided affected parties with options like free credit checks and fraud support services to help monitor for any suspicious activity. Additionally, a dedicated phone line (866-497-0534) was set up for questions, and steps were taken to improve overall system safeguards.
