2026 Metabase Security Incident

Dorsata, Inc. Notifies Patients of Metabase Data Security Incident

Charlottesville, VA: October 14, 2026 – Dorsata, Inc. has become aware of a data security incident involving the Metabase third-party software it uses that may have involved the protected health information belonging to patients. We are sending letters to potentially involved individuals to notify them about this incident and provide resources to assist them.

On or about August 12, 2026, we received a notice that the Metabase business intelligence software we use contained a security vulnerability.  We immediately patched the software and began an investigation with the assistance of independent cybersecurity experts. Our investigation determined the Metabase security vulnerability allowed unauthorized access to our database platform that stores medical information related to patients of our healthcare provider partners between August 10, 2026 and August 12, 2026.  We then reviewed the data involved in the incident to identify the individuals whose information may have been involved. Please note that there is no evidence of the misuse, or attempted misuse, of any potentially impacted information.

Based on the investigation of the incident, the following personal and protected health information may have been involved in the incident: name, address, patient ID, date of birth, vitals data, treatment information, treatment location, provider name, vaccines, medications, health insurance information, and patients’ medical history contained in a patient’s medical records.  Social security numbers, driver’s license number and financial information were not involved.

We take the security of patient information very seriously.  We have taken steps to prevent a similar event from occurring in the future, including installing the security patches and updates Metabase has provided to entities who use their software. The notification letters we sent to potentially affected individuals also include information about steps that individuals can take to protect their information.

Dorsata has established a toll-free call center to answer questions about the incident and related concerns. The call center is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time and can be reached at 800-655-5832.

The privacy and protection of protected health information is a top priority for Dorsata, which deeply regrets any inconvenience or concern this incident may cause.

While we have no evidence of the misuse of any potentially affected individual’s information, we are providing the following information to help those wanting to know more about steps they can take to protect themselves and their personal information:
