The information compromised includes, but not limited to: name, social security number, date of birth, service dates, prescription details, medical records, health claims data, and treatment and procedure information.

The data breach, if confirmed, could have severe implications for the affected users, leading to potential identity theft, financial fraud, and further cyber attacks.
