The company detected the access around June 8, 2026, and disclosed the incident in an SEC Form 8-K on June 10, 2026. iRhythm began notifying affected individuals on October 2, 2026.

    The exposed data included patient names, contact details, account numbers, insurance numbers, device serial numbers, service dates, and dates of birth. iRhythm stated that it does not store individual financial-account or payment-card information, and these were not involved.
