What caused the Hims data breach?

Hackers exploited vulnerabilities in Hims' systems, accessing customer data including PHI like prescriptions for hair loss, weight loss, and ED treatments. No full medical records, per Hims, but plenty to embarrass.

Does the Hims breach include my full medical history?

Unlikely—Hims claims only names, contact info, and select scripts leaked. Still, sensitive enough for blackmail or targeted scams.

How do I protect myself after Hims breach?

Freeze credit, enable 2FA everywhere, watch for phishing. Consider VPN for telehealth logins. And maybe grow a beard.
