Paradigm Healthcare Services has disclosed a data breach affecting approximately 970,000 Medi-Cal members. The organization detected the intrusion in October 2025, but according to SecurityWeek, it took nearly a year for the company to begin notifying affected individuals.
The significant delay between detection and notification raises questions about the company's incident response and disclosure practices. Healthcare data breaches are particularly sensitive because they can expose medical and personal information, and timely notification is a key part of helping affected people protect themselves.
As of the report, no further details about the nature of the intrusion or what specific data was exposed have been released. The case underscores the importance of prompt breach reporting, especially in the healthcare sector where the consequences of delayed disclosure can be severe.
