About Ridgeway Pharmacy Ltd
Ridgeway Pharmacy, Ltd. is a mail-order and retail pharmacy headquartered in Victor, Montana, that dispenses prescription and proprietary drugs as well as non-prescription medicines. The company offers home delivery and online ordering, holds NABP and ACHC accreditation, and is licensed to dispense prescriptions in all 50 states. It also operates a retail pharmacy location in Stevensville, Montana. Because this breach involved health information, insurance information, and prescription information, the incident is particularly sensitive for the customers whose records were stored on the company’s website.
What Happened?
Ridgeway Pharmacy Ltd. was listed in a California Attorney General sample breach notice filed on September 21st, 2026. According to the notice, Ridgeway’s website—designed and developed by a third-party vendor—was accessed by an unauthorized party. Ridgeway states that none of its internal systems were involved. After discovering the incident on August 21st, 2026, the company launched an investigation, engaged external cybersecurity and forensic specialists, and reported the matter to U.S. federal law enforcement. A thorough review of data on the website determined that affected individuals’ records may have included name, address, date of birth, health information, insurance information, payment card information, and prescription information. The notice explicitly states that Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and other sensitive information of that type were not involved.
In response, Ridgeway remediated its website, stood up a new platform, enhanced access restrictions, strengthened monitoring, and reevaluated its third-party vendor arrangements. Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, is providing 12 months of single bureau credit monitoring at no cost to affected individuals. No ransomware group claims or independent media reporting about this specific incident were found as of the filing date.
