zHealth, Inc. Data Breach Exposes Patient Information in California

zHealth, Inc., a company providing software solutions for healthcare practices, formally reported a data security incident to the California Attorney General in September 2026. This breach, which occurred on January 20, 2026, involved an unauthorized intrusion into its network infrastructure.
