Reports indicate that the Hawaii Employers' Mutual Insurance Company (HEMIC) experienced a data breach on February 27, 2026. This incident has been reported by sources including Ransomware.Live and is currently under investigation by attorneys working with ClassAction.org. While there is no official confirmation from HEMIC, the reports suggest a security incident has occurred.
The breach may have involved Protected Health Information (PHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), including Social Security numbers (SSNs), driver's license numbers, names, and financial information such as account details and insurance data. HEMIC serves nearly 7,000 businesses and 75,000 workers, all of whom could potentially be impacted, though an exact number of affected individuals has not been publicly specified. The threat actor known as SilentRansomGroup has reportedly claimed responsibility for this incident. The primary state affected is Hawaii, where HEMIC is based.
Details about the breach can emerge later as investigations progress, and official notices may be delayed.
