Centers Laboratory Faces Legal Scrutiny Over Year-Long Breach

Centers Laboratory Faces Legal Scrutiny Over Year-Long Breach

Over 542,000 patients face potential identity theft after a massive data breach at the New Jersey-based diagnostic firm Centers Laboratory went undisclosed for nearly a year. Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP is now investigating the company for its delayed response and failure to protect sensitive medical and personal records.

The unauthorized intrusion occurred between August 9 and August 14, 2025, when hackers infiltrated the laboratory’s computer systems. Despite detecting the suspicious activity on August 25, 2025, the firm waited until July 20, 2026, to begin notifying the affected individuals. This significant delay has triggered concerns regarding compliance with state and federal notification laws.

Compromised data includes Social Security and passport numbers, driver’s licenses, health insurance details, and private medical records. The San Francisco-based law firm Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe is evaluating whether the breach warrants a class-action lawsuit to secure damages for victims and force an overhaul of the company’s cybersecurity protocols. Those impacted may be at ongoing risk of identity theft due to the nature of the exposed information.
