A Combination of Financial and Medical Data in One Breach

This breach stands out for how much ground it covers. The exposed data spans both financial categories, including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and debit card information, and detailed medical categories, including diagnoses, lab results, and Medicare and Medicaid numbers. For a nonprofit serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, that combination is especially concerning: many of the people affected may rely on caregivers or family members to help monitor their accounts and benefits, which can make it harder to catch fraud quickly.

• Medical record numbers

Your Information Is at Risk

This breach combines nearly every category of information identity thieves look for: a Social Security number and driver’s license to open new credit, financial account and debit card information to target existing accounts directly, and Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care numbers that can be used to commit medical identity theft or fraudulently bill for services that were never provided. Affected individuals and their families should monitor bank accounts, insurance statements, and Medicare or Medicaid benefit summaries closely for unfamiliar activity.

Do You Have Legal Options?

Organizations that collect Social Security numbers, financial information, and detailed medical and insurance records have a legal duty to secure that data and to notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay.
