​​​​On April 2, 2025, Nevro Corp. (“Nevro”) reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the California Attorney General’s office. The following day, April 3, 2025, Nevro filed another notice with the Texas Attorney General’s office, indicating that approximately 6,381 Texans were affected by the incident. According to Nevro’s notice, on December 1, 2024, the company became aware of suspicious activity on its network. A subsequent investigation determined that an unauthorized third party gained access to a small number of Nevro’s systems and obtained certain private and confidential information from the network between November 21 and December 1, 2024 (“Data Breach”).

Recently, Nevro began sending data breach notification letters to those affected by the Data Breach. Each notice includes an offer of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for impacted individuals. If you received a data breach notification letter from Nevro, it indicates that you were affected by the data breach. ​

Nevro Corp., founded in 2006 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, specializes in chronic pain management solutions, notably its HFX™ spinal cord stimulation platform featuring proprietary 10 kHz Therapy™. On April 3, 2025, Globus Medical completed its acquisition of Nevro for approximately $250 million, aiming to expand Nevro’s high-frequency technology reach. As of December 31, 2024, Nevro employed approximately 1,099 individuals and reported an annual revenue of $408.5 million. ​

WHAT INFORMATION IS INVOLVED IN THE NEVRO CORP. DATA BREACH?

While Nevro has not released the exact information compromised, it likely includes:

  • Name​s;
  • Social Security Number Information;
  • Driver’s License number;
  • Financial Information (e.g. account number, credit or debit card number);
  • Medical Information;
  • Health Insurance Information.

This information is called your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). It tells others about you and is considered part of your identity. Businesses are required to secure this information or risk facing statutory penalties, among other legal penalties. Stolen PII can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity. 

Personal medical information (a specific type of PII) is referred to as Protected Health Information (“PHI”). It is protected under both state and federal law. Healthcare providers and other businesses who handle PHI are required to protect that information. Like stolen PII, stolen PHI can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity. Quite often, PII and PHI are used in conjunction by hackers.

The best way to protect yourself after a data breach is to sign up for credit and identity protection services as soon as possible. 

California offers extra protections and legal rights to its residents through the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
