- Amplifon Americas said unauthorized parties copied files from selected systems between January 18 and February 8, 2026.
- The affected information may include medical, insurance, identity and, for a limited number of people, Social Security and financial details.
- Amplifon said it was not aware of fraudulent use of the information linked to the incident.
Amplifon Americas, the US arm of Italian hearing-care group Amplifon, disclosed a cybersecurity incident involving sensitive customer information. SecurityWeek reported on November 9, 2026 that the incident affected more than 1.3 million individuals in the United States, citing an Amplifon notice and a reported filing with the Texas attorney general.
According to the report, an unauthorized party copied files from selected internal systems between January 18 and February 8, 2026. The compromised information may include names, contact details, dates of birth, driver's license and other government identification numbers, hearing and medical information, dates of service, and health insurance information.
Sensitive Records Drive Exposure Risk
For some individuals, Social Security numbers and financial information were also involved. Amplifon said it contained the incident and began an investigation, but the review of the copied files took eight months before the company determined that personal information may have been affected.
The disclosure creates an operational and reputational risk for Amplifon because the incident concerns health-related and identity information. The company said it was not aware of any fraudulent use of personal information resulting from the incident. The available report did not identify an attacker or explain the method of entry.
Amplifon stock traded at 11.65 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 10:06:56 CET on Friday, November 13, 2026.
