Laboratory Services Cooperative Data Breach

Laboratory Services Cooperative Data Breach

The Laboratory Services Cooperative (LSC), a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington, is notifying individuals about a recent data breach involving the unauthorized access of personal information. The breach, which affected a total of 1.6 million individuals, was discovered on October 27, 2024, and was attributed to an external hacking incident.

What Happened?

On October 27, 2024, LSC identified suspicious activity within its network. In response, LSC immediately engaged third-party cybersecurity specialists to determine the nature and scope of the incident and notified federal law enforcement. The investigation revealed that an unauthorized third party gained access to portions of LSC’s network and accessed/removed certain files belonging to LSC.

LSC promptly initiated a review and engaged a third-party vendor to help identify whose information may be potentially involved and to what extent.

In February 2025, LSC received the initial results of the data review, revealing that certain LSC patient and worker-related data might be affected.
