A healthcare firm has disclosed a major data security incident that may have exposed the personally identifying and personal health information of more than a quarter million Americans.

The latest bulletin from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services shows that Vital Imaging was hit by a hacking/IT incident affecting 260,000 Americans.

The firm says it detected that an unauthorized entity gained access to its systems and stole files that may include customers’ medical information, insurance information and demographic information such as contact information and date of birth.

“On February 13, 2025, Vital Imaging experienced a security incident that resulted in unauthorized activity in its network. Upon learning of the incident, Vital Imaging engaged cybersecurity specialists to assist with the investigation, which remains ongoing.

Vital Imaging also retained an independent data mining team to assist with the investigation, identify the types of data involved, and determine data ownership to facilitate appropriate notifications. As of July 16, 2025, the investigation has progressed to a stage where there is a reasonable belief that certain PHI (personal health information) and/or PII (personally identifying information) was accessed and acquired.”

Vital Imaging is a Florida-based diagnostic imaging provider offering MRI, CT, ultrasound and related services across multiple outpatient centers.

The firm is now urging its customers to monitor their health plan statements, financial accounts and credit reports for signs of suspicious activity, while staying alert for email phishing tactics. For now, Vital Imaging says it reported the breach to law enforcement and federal regulators.
