What happened at Woundtech?

Woundtech says it began investigating as soon as it saw the activity and hired a third-party cybersecurity firm for a forensic investigation. That investigation found on December 31, 2025 that information may have been copied. Woundtech then reviewed the data to work out whose information was involved, and finished that review on March 2, 2026.

DateWhat the letter and the regulators' records say
December 6, 2025Unusual activity in the network; first day of the activity
December 9, 2025Last day of the activity
December 31, 2025Forensic investigation finds information may have been copied
January 28, 2026Report to HHS (139,830)
March 2, 2026Review of the data finished
March 16, 2026Letter date; notice recorded by California

Woundtech's report to HHS came about five weeks before it finished working out who was affected. The letters followed two weeks after that, about 100 days after the activity began. The guide to how long companies take to notify sets that gap against other notices.

What information was involved?

The letter says the information varied by person, and each letter lists the reader's own items. The sample filed with California leaves that list blank, and neither the California record nor the HHS entry names the data elements. HHS records the breach as a hacking incident on a network server.

What Texas's attorney general recorded

Texas's attorney general lists a report from Wound Technology Network, Inc, posted on March 17, 2026, with 3,809 Texans affected, a count of Texas residents only. The record lists names, Social Security numbers, medical information, health insurance information and dates of birth as involved.

What the documents leave open

  • How the unauthorized individual got into the network.
  • Whether the copied information has been published or misused; the letter does not say either way.

Woundtech's case sits among the year's provider reports in the ranking of 2026 healthcare breaches reported to HHS.

How this disclosure's timing compares

Wound Technology Network, Inc. disclosed 100 days after the discovery date its notice gives. Across the 206 other state breach notices on cisonews.net that date discovery to the day, the median gap is 100 days.

California's breach-notice rule

California's breach law (Civil Code § 1798.82 for businesses, § 1798.29 for state agencies) requires any person or business that must notify more than 500 California residents of a single breach to submit one sample copy of that notice to the Attorney General electronically. The California Attorney General's breach list, where this notice was found, is built from those submissions.

The guide Data breach laws by state: notice deadlines and attorney general thresholds in 23 states reads the rule in full, and the glossary defines Breach notification law.
