CareCloud Data Breach Impacts Over 350,000

DataBreaches.net · · International · Data Breaches

Healthcare IT company CareCloud has begun notifying more than 350,000 people that their data was stolen after hackers accessed its AWS cloud environment in March 2025, disrupting an electronic health records system within its CareCloud Health division.

Why this matters: Health records are not just data. They are diagnoses, prescriptions, mental health history, and treatment details people share with doctors under the assumption it stays private. When a cloud environment holding that information gets compromised, 350,000 people lose that assumption permanently. CareCloud sits in the middle of that relationship as an IT vendor, not a doctor. That is worth paying attention to. These companies hold enormous amounts of sensitive medical data but often get far less scrutiny than the providers they serve.
