NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 22, 2025 / Ohio Medical Alliance LLC d/b/a Ohio Marijuana Card’s database was recently made available for viewing, having been left unencrypted and non-password protected. This lack of security has led to concerns regarding the sensitive personal and protected health information entrusted to Ohio Marijuana Card.
WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?
In August 2025, a cybersecurity researcher discovered that an unencrypted and non-password-protected database belonging to Ohio Marijuana Card was publicly accessible. The exposed database contained approximately 957,434 records, totaling 323 GB of sensitive information. A review of the files showed high-resolution identification documents, patient intake forms, medical records, release forms, Social Security numbers, physician certification forms, and mental health evaluations. These medical records revealed patient diagnoses and the reasons individuals sought medical marijuana treatment. The database was restricted from public access after the researcher reported the issue.
However, Ohio Marijuana Card has not publicly acknowledged the exposure or confirmed whether the incident constituted a data breach. It is not known how long the database was exposed or whether unauthorized individuals accessed the records. Compensation may be available for those individuals who receive notice that their sensitive personal information was compromised.
WHY YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION?
