Filings
| Agency | Record date | People | In total | Days to notice | Links |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Massachusetts Massachusetts OCABR | Feb 19, 2026 | 16 | 123 days, statute no fixed period | Record | |
| California California AG | Feb 18, 2026 | Not published | 122 days, statute 30 days, over | Letter Record | |
| HHS OCR HHS OCR | Dec 18, 2025 | 91,513 (total) | 60 days | Record |
People is the count the filing gives, residents of the state unless marked total. Days to notice runs from the discovery date the letter states, or from the end of the breach window when no letter states one, to the date on the state's first record of the incident. "Over" marks a count past the days the state's statute allows for notice to residents. The statute's trigger is a question of fact, the days are arithmetic.
