Nutex Health Says Hackers Exfiltrated Data From Company Servers

External forensic teams alongside law enforcement are investigating to identify which files and which patients, staff or business partners were affected.

Overview

  • Nutex disclosed in an SEC filing that an unauthorized third party accessed its network and likely copied information from company servers.
  • After detecting the intrusion the company activated its cybersecurity plan, hired external incident‑response and forensic specialists, and notified law enforcement.
  • Nutex says it has not yet determined the types of data taken or whether patient records, employee files, provider credentials or business documents were exposed.
  • The company reported no material impact to operations or financial reporting so far and said it does not currently expect a material effect on its business.
  • Nutex operates 28 facilities across 12 states and is publicly traded as NUTX; health data breaches can lead to identity theft and public disclosure of private records, so investigators will be watching for leaks and notifications to affected people.
