Zakay Law Group, APLC Files a Class Action Against the Modoc Medical Center, Alleging Failure to Implement and Maintain Appropriate Security Measures, Causing Unauthorized Access to Sensitive Personal Information

The lawsuit alleges the Modoc Medical Center failed to implement the enhanced security measures necessary to protect from unauthorized access to personally identifying information and protected health information.

MODOC COUNTY, Calif., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zakay Law Group, APLC filed a class action complaint against Last Frontier Healthcare District dba Modoc Medical Center (Modoc Medical Center), for allegedly failing to properly safeguard patients' personal information and protected health information stored within Modoc Medical Center's information network. The class action lawsuit, Case No. CU-26-045, is currently pending in the Modoc County Superior Court of the State of California.

According to the lawsuit, Modoc Medical Center was allegedly negligent, committed breaches of implied contracts, fiduciary duties and confident, and violated the California Unfair Competition Law (Business and Professions Code §§ 17200, et seq.), California Customer Records Act (California Civ. Code § 1798.80), California Consumer Privacy Act (California Civ. Code §§ 1798.150, et seq.), and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (California Civ. Code §§ 56, et seq.).

Organizations like Modoc Medical Center that provide community support programs, outreach, social services, and health services regularly store personally identifying information and protected health information. Therefore, cybersecurity breaches like this one are concerning, as individuals whose information was exposed experience harms such as invasion of privacy, identify theft, fraudulent financial activity, exposure to phishing and scams, loss of time and resources spent securing one's identity and medical information, and the ongoing anxiety and loss of peace of mind resulting from knowing that one's most sensitive personal and medical data is no longer secure. Given such severe consequences, individuals who used Modoc Medical Center's services reasonably expect that their data will be properly safeguarded.
