What Happened

In December 2025, Aesto identified unauthorized activity within a small part of its AWS infrastructure. After a forensic investigation and manual document review, Aesto confirmed on May 26, 2026, that an unauthorized individual may have accessed or acquired some patient information between approximately December 2 and December 18, 2025. Aesto informed Health Access Network around July 7, 2026. In response, Health Access Network started sending notices to affected residents in New Hampshire on September 17, 2026, and offered Kroll identity monitoring to those whose Social Security numbers were involved. Lawyers are also reviewing possible legal claims.

What Personal Information May Be at Risk

Based on the reported notice to the New Hampshire Attorney General, the information potentially involved varied by individual and may include:

  • Full names
  • Social Security numbers
  • Medical information

Who May Be Affected

The investigation focuses on Health Access Network patients whose information Aesto processed. Anyone who has received a data breach notification connected to this incident may face an increased risk of identity theft and fraud and is encouraged to come forward.

Your Legal Options

Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating a potential class action to pursue legal remedies on behalf of individuals whose sensitive personal data may have been compromised in the reported breach. A successful case could recover compensation for losses such as lost time, out-of-pocket costs, and loss of privacy, and could push Health Access Network to strengthen how it protects personal information. The firm will evaluate your rights and potential claims at no cost.

Recommended Steps to Protect Yourself

  • Review your account statements, medical bills, insurance statements, and credit reports regularly and stay alert for suspicious activity.
  • Confirm whether your information was involved in the Health Access Network incident.
  • Preserve any letters or emails you received about the breach.
