What happened

Dexcom determined on November 2, 2026 that personal information may have been involved after social engineering gave a third party access to employee accounts and enabled file downloads. The notice does not date the initial intrusion. [2]

Impact

One recipient notice identifies names, addresses and limited health information, such as pharmacy, provider, birth date, prescription number, diagnoses or Dexcom-user status. For that recipient group, Social Security numbers and financial information were excluded. [2]

A separate recipient notice lists names, Social Security numbers, birth dates and government identification information, and offers two years of monitoring. The exclusions above apply only to the health-information recipient group. [1]
