Michigan Medicine reports health info of nearly 58K patients possibly leaked in 2nd cyberattack this year
(CBS DETROIT) – Michigan Medicine alerted about 57,891 patients that their health information was possibly exposed in a data breach, marking the health system’s second cyberattack this year.
This breach occurred after an employee’s email account was compromised, according to a release.
“A Michigan Medicine employee accepted an unsolicited multifactor authentication prompt, which allowed the cyberattacker to access the employee’s email account and its contents,” Michigan Medicine said in a release. “The event occurred on July 30, 2024. The account was disabled as soon as possible so no further access could take place.”
Some emails and attachments contained patient information, including names, medical record numbers, diagnostics and treatment information.
“The emails were job-related communications for treatment and coordination for Michigan Medicine patients,” according to the release. “The information involved for each specific patient varied, depending on the particular email or attachment.
While investigating, Michigan Medicine didn’t find evidence to believe that this attack aimed to gain access to health information.
Still, data theft couldn’t be ruled out, and all emails involved were considered compromised and reviewed. The review happened from Aug. 21 to Aug. 29.
When they discovered the breach, Michigan Medicine blocked the cyberattacker’s IP address was blocked, and password changes were made.
Michigan Medicine says the emails did not include Social Security Numbers, bank account numbers, or credit or debit card information.
“Additionally, Michigan Medicine is taking swift action to ward off future cyberattacks that target employees including decreasing time emails are retained, modifying our identity verification processes to access Michigan Medicine systems, and increased education on the use of the multifactor identification,” Michigan Medicine said.
The employee believed in the breach has also been “subject to disciplinary action under Michigan Medicine policies and procedures.”
“Patient privacy is of the utmost importance,” said Michigan Medicine. “At Michigan Medicine, we continue to be vigilant as cyberattacks become more and more sophisticated. We will analyze this incident and review our safeguards and make changes if needed to protect those we care for.”
On Sept. 26, Michigan Medicine started mailing notices to the impacted patients. People who are concerned and do not receive a letter can contact the toll-free Michigan Medicine Assistance Line: 1-877-225-2078 with questions from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Michigan Medicine patients were also impacted by a data breach in May.
Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham introduced to Crisler crowd
Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham introduced to Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Friday, Jan. 2, 2026.
Michigan football did the bulk of its work on recruiting its class of 2027 in May and June, but continues to round out its class, which came with another commitment in the trenches.
The Wolverines landed a pledge from four-star interior lineman Lincoln Mageo out of Oceanside High in Oceanside, California, who chose U-M over Utah and Washington on Saturday, July 11. Mageo, who had more than 20 Division I offers including programs such as Ohio State, Texas and USC, stands 6 feet 4 and 280 pounds.
Mageo, who visited Ann Arbor in early June, was named a Polynesian Bowl All-Star.
“Strong customer as a drive blocker in the run game,” 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks wrote. “Flashes some heavy-handed pop, particularly when traveling and when helping in pass pro.
“Enhancing fluidity throughout lower half will raise the ceiling on pass-pro ability. Projects to the P4 level as a candidate to become a run-game enforcer.”
Mageo is rated the No. 19 interior lineman in the nation, the No. 31 player in California and No. 369 in the class of 2027, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. He’s the fourth offensive line pledge to sign on to play for position coach Jim Harding, joining four-star Jakari Lipsey, three-star Sidney Rouleau and three-star Louis Esposito (the son of former U-M D-line coach Lou Esposito, who departed for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens).
Michigan now has 21 commits in its class, which was ranked No. 19, per 247, prior to Mageo’s commitment.

ROTHBURY, Mich. — Michigan State Police (MSP) detectives shared some more information Friday about their investigation of the infant death at this year’s Electric Forest music festival in Rothbury.
Troopers recently received a tip about a Muskegon woman who was said to have information about the incident, but after interviewing her and completing other necessary investigative steps, MSP said they ruled her out as a suspect.
A restroom vending company employee at the festival found the body of a neonate, a newborn infant who is four weeks old or younger, in a portable restroom in the festival camping area on June 28, according to troopers.
