Massachusetts Health Insurer Point32Health Reports Ransomware Attack and Data Breach.
Point32Health, the second-largest health insurer in Massachusetts, has disclosed that patient information was stolen during a ransomware attack that has hampered the company for weeks. Cyber criminals had likely copied and taken data from Harvard Pilgrim’s systems between March 28 and April 17, and the stolen data may include personal information and potentially protected health information belonging to current and former subscribers and dependents, as well as current providers. The insurer has begun to notify subscribers their information may have been compromised and is offering complimentary identity protection and access to two years of credit monitoring services for potentially affected individuals. The financial implications of the breach at Point32 are still unclear, but they have already been long-lasting.
