Heywood Healthcare Inc., Henry Heywood Memorial Hospital, Athol Memorial Hospital, and Heywood Medical Group data breach

If Heywood Healthcare Inc., Henry Heywood Memorial Hospital, Athol Memorial Hospital, and Heywood Medical Group had your data

1. Look for Heywood Healthcare Inc., Henry Heywood Memorial Hospital, Athol Memorial Hospital, and Heywood Medical Group, Inc.’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.
2. An ID number cannot be changed, so lock it: a credit freeze or fraud alert in the US, a credit warning (kreditadvarsel) on borger.dk in Denmark, Cifas protective registration in the UK.
3. Check your health insurer’s statements for treatment you never had.
4. Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be Heywood Healthcare Inc., Henry Heywood Memorial Hospital, Athol Memorial Hospital, and Heywood Medical Group, Inc., your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.
