Radiology Associates of Richmond disclosed on May 21, 2026 that an unauthorized party accessed protected health information and personal data belonging to approximately 266,000 individuals. The medical imaging provider began issuing notifications after concluding its investigation on April 6, 2026. The breach occurred earlier in the year, though the precise intrusion window has not been publicly detailed.
Public reporting indicates the exposed information included protected health information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers in some cases, and clinical records tied to radiology services. RAR stated that it found no evidence of actual misuse of the data and described the notifications as a precautionary measure. Industry research from sources such as DoxxScan™ continuous monitoring indicates that healthcare organizations remain frequent targets because medical records contain long-term personally identifiable information that retains value on underground markets for years after initial exposure.
