Entyre Care Massachusetts Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Information of 1,677 Individuals
Entyre Care Massachusetts Inc, a Boston-based health and human services provider supporting family and friend caregivers, confirmed a data breach after an employee accidentally published sensitive files to a public repository. The incident, discovered on May 12, 2026, involved files that had been exposed since March 2, 2026, containing personally identifiable information (PII) of individuals enrolled in the company’s Caregiver Compensation Program.
The exposed data included names, ages, and Medicaid IDs. While Entyre Care removed the files and launched a third-party cybersecurity investigation, the breach impacted 1,677 individuals in Massachusetts alone, with additional potential exposure in Ohio, Virginia, and Illinois. The company reported the incident to the Massachusetts Attorney General on July 15, 2026.
Class action law firm Shamis & Gentile P.A. is now investigating potential legal claims on behalf of affected individuals, who may be eligible for compensation. The breach highlights ongoing risks of accidental data exposure in the healthcare sector.
