LabCorp is the latest laboratory testing giant this week to confirm it’s 
affected by the same third-party data breach.

The Burlington, North Carolina-based medical giant said 7.7 million patients 
had their personal and financial data stolen by hackers, which hit the payment 
pages of the American Medical Collection Agency, a third-party vendor that 
processes payments for LabCorp and other companies.

The admission comes a day after Quest Diagnostics around 11.9 million patients 
had their data stolen.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, LabCorp said the 
stolen data includes a patient’s name, date of birth, address, phone number, 
date of service, provider, and balance information.

“AMCA’s affected system also included credit card or bank account information 
that was provided by the consumer to AMCA,” said the filing. Some 200,000 
patients will receive more detailed notices that their financial information 
was taken.
