About This Security Incident

As a healthcare organization, INTERLINK Health Services Inc. was entrusted with some of the most sensitive data a person can share. According to a OR state filing, INTERLINK Health Services Inc. experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing Social Security Numbers and protected health information. Although disclosed some time ago, affected individuals may still have legal options.

The healthcare industry faces mounting regulatory scrutiny following a wave of ransomware attacks and insider data theft. INTERLINK Health Services Inc. was required to maintain safeguards under both HIPAA and the Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act, yet the breach suggests those obligations were not adequately met. Affected individuals have the right to request an accounting of exactly what was disclosed.

Risk Analysis — Exposed Data

This filing does not specify data types. Based on INTERLINK Health Services Inc.'s industry, the following risks are commonly associated with similar breaches:

Medical Identity Theftcritical

Stolen health information can be used to fraudulently obtain prescriptions, medical devices, or even surgery billed to your insurance — leaving lasting errors in your medical file.

HIPAA Violation & Medical ID Theftcritical

Exposure of protected health information violates HIPAA and can lead to insurance fraud, prescription theft, and lasting damage to your medical history.

Identity Theftcritical

Exposed Social Security Numbers can be used to open fraudulent credit accounts, file false tax returns, and commit federal benefits fraud — often for years before detection.

Identity Verification Bypassmedium

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

Physical Security Riskmedium

Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.

  • Your information was held by INTERLINK Health Services Inc. in OR

§ V

— Compensation Available

01
Lost Time & Remediation Costs

The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.

02
Identity Theft Protection Costs

Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.

03
HIPAA Statutory Damages

HIPAA violations carry civil penalties between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Where a healthcare organization's negligence led to the exposure of protected health information, class members may recover statutory damages in addition to actual losses.

04
Emotional Distress

Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.

§ VI

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against INTERLINK Health Services Inc.?

No. Under Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

My Social Security Number was exposed. What should I do right now?

Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.

Does HIPAA give me additional rights in the INTERLINK Health Services Inc. breach?

If INTERLINK Health Services Inc. is a covered healthcare entity or business associate under HIPAA, affected patients have additional rights — including the right to an HHS complaint. These HIPAA violations also strengthen civil damages claims. Consult an attorney to understand your full remedies.

Is it too late to file a claim?

Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.

What if INTERLINK Health Services Inc. offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from INTERLINK Health Services Inc. does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by INTERLINK Health Services Inc. during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
