In 2023, NASCO, a healthcare technology provider, experienced a data breach.

The breach affected 1,744,655 individuals in Georgia. The exposed data included names, addresses, phone numbers, genders, dates of birth, health insurance numbers, claim information, medical IDs, dates of service, medical information (including diagnoses), medical devices/products, caregiver names, and Social Security Numbers.
