About Blue Fish Pediatrics
Blue Fish Pediatrics is a pediatric medical group practice based in Houston, Texas that has served the greater Houston area since 2005. The practice operates multiple locations across the Houston metro area, including offices in Memorial, Cypress, Katy, Shenandoah (The Woodlands), Fairfield, Greater Heights, Sienna (Missouri City), and Sugar Land. Because Blue Fish Pediatrics provides medical care to children, its records include sensitive personal, medical, and health insurance information belonging to pediatric patients and their families, making the exposure of that data particularly significant.
What Happened?
Blue Fish Pediatrics was listed in a Texas Attorney General data security breach report (record ID BR-0005122). According to that filing, an unauthorized actor accessed the Blue Fish Pediatrics computer system during the period of July 11th, 2025 through July 17th, 2025. The breach was not discovered until May 4th, 2026—approximately ten months after the incident occurred. A total of 62,150 individuals were affected. Blue Fish Pediatrics provided notice to affected individuals by U.S. Mail on June 17th, 2026, nearly one year after the breach took place.
The information exposed includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued ID numbers (such as passports and state ID cards), medical information, health insurance information, and dates of birth. Because the practice serves pediatric patients, many of those affected are likely minors, which heightens the sensitivity of the compromised data. No specific ransomware group or threat actor has claimed responsibility for the incident. As of June 18th, 2026, the law firm Migliaccio & Rathod LLP announced it is investigating the breach for a potential class action, though no formal complaint appears to have been filed yet.
