What Happened?
Casper Orthopedic Associates, PC was listed in an HHS Office for Civil Rights breach portal report submitted on July 23rd, 2026. The filing identifies the incident as a hacking/IT incident involving a network server and reports that 56,197 individuals were affected. No business associate was involved. The specific types of data exposed were not identified in the HHS filing or any other confirmed source.
Separately, on July 12th, 2026, the ransomware group Anubis claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Casper Orthopedics on its dark web leak site, as tracked by Ransomware.live and reported by DeXpose. The Anubis group alleged that patients’ data and medical records were exposed, but this is an attacker-side claim and has not been independently confirmed. As of July 14th, 2026, Casper Orthopedics had not publicly confirmed whether a breach had occurred or whether any patient information was actually compromised. The HHS filing and the Anubis claim have not been officially linked, though the timing and entity name are consistent.
