DaVita Inc.

On **June 17, 2024**, DaVita Inc. suffered a **data breach** involving unauthorized transmission of personal information via **online tracking technologies** to third-party vendors. The exposed data included **IP addresses, usernames, and demographic details**, but **no highly sensitive information** such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, or medical records was compromised. The incident was disclosed by the **California Office of the Attorney General** on **July 3, 2024**. The breach primarily affected **non-critical personal data**, meaning the impact was limited to **potential privacy concerns** rather than financial fraud or identity theft. While the exposure of IP addresses and usernames could lead to **targeted phishing attempts** or **reputational harm**, there was no evidence of malicious exploitation of the leaked data. The company likely faced **regulatory scrutiny** under data protection laws (e.g., CCPA) but avoided severe operational or financial disruptions. No ransomware, direct cyberattack, or systemic vulnerability exploitation was reported in this case.
