What happened
WIRX Pharmacy (operated by Work Injury RX One LLC) is a Fort Washington, Pennsylvania specialty pharmacy focused on workers’ compensation / injured-worker patients. Founded in 2015, WIRX uses a home-delivery model with 24-to-48-hour shipping and no patient out-of-pocket cost.
On December 6-7, 2025, an unauthorized third party accessed WIRX’s network. WIRX detected suspicious activity on December 7, secured systems, and engaged forensic investigation. The forensic review concluded on January 23, 2026. WIRX posted a public website notice and filed with HHS OCR on February 5, 2026, then mailed individual notification letters and filed with the New Hampshire AG on February 12, 2026 — confirming 20,047 affected (TX 693, MA 8, ME 4, NH 1 residents disclosed).
No ransomware group has publicly claimed responsibility. The Inc Ransom result that appeared in some search summaries relates to a separate, unrelated incident — do not confuse.
What was stolen
- Full name, date of birth, home address
- Social Security number
- Diagnoses and conditions
- Medications and treatment information (prescription / dispensing history specific to workers’ compensation claims)
- Financial account / claims information
The workers’ compensation context is unusually sensitive: the data set includes injury context, employer/insurer-linked claims data, and prescription-medication detail in addition to standard PII. For affected injured workers, the prescription history alone can disclose ongoing pain-management treatment that is potentially relevant to employer review, employment background checks, and future insurance underwriting.
What WIRX is offering
- 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services (vendor not publicly named)
- Federal law enforcement notified; internal remediation underway
What to do
- Enroll in the offered monitoring through the activation code in your letter.
- Place free credit freezes at Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
- File IRS Form 14039.
- Be alert to workers’ compensation insurer outreach that references your prescription history or injury — scammers can use this data to impersonate insurer adjusters.
- Stop the ongoing flow of your prescription data. HealthConsent files HIPAA restriction requests across prescription networks and pharmacy benefit managers so the medication-history data exposed in this breach is not continuously re-shared.

Credit monitoring covers your wallet. HealthConsent covers your health records.
Your stolen diagnoses, test results, and medical record numbers don’t expire when the free credit-monitoring window ends. HealthConsent automates HIPAA restriction requests and opt-outs across providers, insurers, HIEs, and prescription networks so the data taken in this breach can’t keep being shared and sold by other entities downstream.
