About Minuteman Press Macon
Minuteman Press Macon is a franchise printing, marketing, and design company located in Macon, Georgia, at 4341 Interstate Drive, Suite B. In business since 1993 and operated as an LLC, the company offers professional printing, graphic design, copying, large format printing, promotional products, and direct mail services. It is listed on the HHS breach portal as a Business Associate, meaning it handles protected health information on behalf of one or more HIPAA-covered entities — likely through printing or document handling services for healthcare clients.
What Happened?
Minuteman Press Macon was listed in an HHS Office for Civil Rights breach portal report submitted on September 4th, 2026. The incident is classified as an Unauthorized Access/Disclosure involving Paper/Films, and it affected 1,489 individuals. Because the breached information was in physical form — paper documents or films — the incident appears to involve a physical document exposure rather than a cyberattack. The specific types of protected health information involved were not disclosed in available sources.
No public notice letter, press coverage, or additional regulatory reporting about this incident was found. No ransomware group claims or threat actor involvement have been publicly linked to this breach. A separate Minuteman Press franchise location in Seattle, Washington, was claimed by the BlackLock ransomware group in October 2024, but that incident involved a different franchise and has not been confirmed to have any connection to the Macon location or this HHS-reported breach.
