Interim HealthCare Investigates Alleged Data Breach Linked to Anubis Hacker Group
On August 21, 2026, reports surfaced of a potential data breach at Interim HealthCare, a major U.S. home healthcare and medical staffing provider operating in over 40 states. The hacker group Anubis claimed responsibility for the attack, which allegedly occurred the same day, according to a post on the dark web security site Ransomware.live.
Legal teams associated with ClassAction.org, a group specializing in corporate accountability investigations, are examining whether a class action lawsuit can be filed on behalf of affected individuals including current and former staff, patients, and affiliates who may have had their personal or sensitive information exposed. If successful, such a lawsuit could seek compensation for privacy violations, financial losses, and other damages.
At this stage, no official details have been released regarding the scope, nature, or confirmation of the breach. Interim HealthCare has not publicly addressed the incident, and attorneys are actively seeking individuals who believe their data may have been compromised to assist in the investigation.
This follows a 2022 data breach at Interim HealthCare of Lubbock, Texas, which resulted in a settled class action lawsuit. The current investigation remains ongoing, with legal representatives contacting potential claimants to gather further evidence.
