The network was isolated, and an investigation was conducted to determine the nature and scope of the intrusion. PharMerica explained in its notification letters that suspicious activity was detected within its computer network on March 14, 2023. That makes it the largest healthcare data breach to be reported by a single HIPAA-covered entity so far in 2023. PharMerica and BrightSpring have now completed their investigation and have confirmed that there was unauthorized accessing of sensitive patient information and reported the data breach to the Maine Attorney General and HHS’ Office for Civil Rights as affecting 5,815,591 individuals. PharMerica is one of the largest providers of pharmacy services in the United States, operating more than 2,500 facilities and over 3,100 pharmacy and healthcare programs. PharMerica has now confirmed the extent of the data breach. The group claimed to have exfiltrated databases containing 4.7 terabytes of data which included the records of more than 2 million individuals. In late March 2023, the Money Message ransomware group announced it had breached the systems of PharMerica and its parent company, BrightSpring Health Services, and added both to its data leak site.
