Posted On March 12, 2025 Consumer Privacy & Data Breaches
March 12 – The United Faith Ministries operating as Unite Health Share Ministries data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the organization was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The United Faith Ministries data breach resulted in the exposure of names, addresses, health insurance information, and dates of birth of certain individuals being compromised.
According to the Texas Attorney General’s office, United Faith Ministries reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cybersecurity incident. The organization filed an official notice with the Attorney General of Texas on March 11, 2025, following the completion of their internal investigation that confirmed unauthorized access to their computer network and sensitive consumer information.
The timing of when notification letters were sent to affected individuals has not been clearly established. While organizations typically begin notifying affected individuals around the same time they file with state authorities, United Faith Ministries’ specific notification schedule may vary. When distributed, these notification letters should provide recipients with detailed information about what specific personal data of theirs was compromised in the breach.
At this early stage, limited information is available about the precise nature of the security incident. United Faith Ministries has not issued a press release or posted a website notice providing additional context about the breach. The filing with the Texas Attorney General contains minimal details about what led to the unauthorized access. It remains unclear whether the incident resulted from a direct intrusion into United Faith Ministries’ systems or potentially through a vulnerability at one of the organization’s third-party service providers.
United Faith Ministries is the operating entity behind Unite Health Share Ministries (UHSM), an organization that provides faith-based healthcare sharing programs as an alternative to traditional health insurance. Headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, the organization serves members seeking healthcare solutions aligned with Christian principles.
The organization functions as a healthcare cost-sharing community where members contribute monthly amounts that are then redistributed to help cover eligible medical expenses of other members within the community. Unlike conventional insurance providers, UHSM operates under different regulatory frameworks as a healthcare sharing ministry.
United Faith Ministries’ operational model includes facilitating the pooling of resources among members to address medical costs, negotiating with healthcare providers, and administering the distribution of shared funds for covered medical expenses. Their services encompass telemedicine access, prescription medication programs, and preventative care initiatives for their membership base.
With a workforce of approximately 66 employees managing various aspects of their operations, United Faith Ministries maintains a relatively modest organizational structure. Financial records indicate the organization generates an estimated annual revenue of $8 million through member contributions and associated services.
