What Is This About?

If you recently received a letter or an email from Ohio Medical Alliance LLC d/b/a Ohio Marijuana Card concerning a data breach, you may be entitled to compensation. It was recently discovered that a database owned by Ohio Marijuana Card was publicly available for viewing, having been left unencrypted and non-password protected. This lack of security may have compromised the sensitive personal and protected health information of hundreds of thousands of individuals.

What Happened?

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.

  • Names;
