  "summary": "The US healthcare software provider Unlimited Technology Systems (UTS) has reported a significant data breach affecting 3.8 million individuals. The intrusion, which took place between October 5 and 10, 2025, resulted in the unauthorized access of sensitive data belonging to patients, including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home and email addresses, phone numbers, medical and insurance data, and even scans of government IDs. UTS discovered the breach last October but only disclosed it in July, initially withholding details about the number of affected individuals. The compromised data also included policy numbers, claims and benefits information, patient balances, medical record numbers, dates of service, and diagnoses. Despite the extensive nature of the breach, UTS stated that the stolen files did not contain complete medical records, medical images, credit card numbers, or bank account details. Affected individuals are being offered 24 months of credit monitoring and identity protection services.",
