MILWAUKEE, June 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jack L. Marcus, Inc. is providing notice of a privacy breach involving the protected health information (PHI) of individuals in the care of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC). The breach involved the unintentional disclosure of the names of six DOC treatment facilities through Jack L. Marcus’s public ordering website.
Between August 15, 2024, and May 16, 2025, individuals placing orders for persons in DOC care (PIOCs) were able to view the name of the treatment facility—though not the address—of certain PIOCs during the checkout process. The breach was discovered on May 15, 2025, and the issue was corrected within 24 hours.
The breach affected 705 individuals. No medical records, financial data, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive health information was involved—only the name of the facility where the individual was housed.
Jack L. Marcus, Inc. has taken immediate corrective steps, including updating its website to ensure facility names are no longer displayed, conducting a full internal review, and enhancing its privacy and compliance training.
Letters have been mailed to all affected individuals using addresses provided by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. Jack L. Marcus has also notified the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), as required under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
