Expert MRI, a medical imaging provider, has notified patients of a data security incident in which an unauthorized actor gained access to and copied files containing personal and protected health information. If you received a notice from Expert MRI about this incident, your sensitive information may have been compromised — and you may have legal rights.
What Happened?
On September 2, 2025, Expert MRI identified evidence of potential unauthorized access to its systems. The organization promptly launched an extensive investigation, took steps to secure its network, and reported the event to federal law enforcement. Through the investigation, Expert MRI determined that an unknown actor gained access to and copied certain files between August 14, 2025 and August 24, 2025.
Expert MRI then conducted an extensive review of the impacted files to determine what sensitive information may have been affected and to identify the individuals involved. Upon completing this review, Expert MRI reported the breach to the California Attorney General on March 23, 2026, and proceeded to mail notification letters to affected individuals.
What Information Was Exposed?
According to Expert MRI’s official notice, the types of protected health information present in the affected files include:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Driver’s license or state identification number
- Additional personal information, which varies by individual and is identified in each recipient’s notification letter
If you received a notification letter, the specific information that may have been involved in your case is described within that letter.
What Is Expert MRI Doing?
Expert MRI has reviewed its existing policies and procedures and added additional safeguards to reduce the risk of future incidents. As an added precaution, Expert MRI is providing affected individuals with access to complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Epiq Privacy Solutions, including single-bureau credit monitoring with alerts, dark web monitoring, credit protection assistance, change of address monitoring, and identity restoration services.
