"Data Breach at Independent Living Systems Impacts 4 Million Individuals"

Florida-based health services company Independent Living Systems (ILS) has recently started sending out notification letters to more than 4 million individuals to inform them of a data breach impacting their personal and medical information.  Founded in 2001, ILS has 10 offices across the US and provides managed care organizations and providers with clinical and third-party administrative services.  The company serves over 4.2 million individuals.  The company discovered the data breach on July 5, 2022, when some of its systems became inaccessible.  Its investigation into the incident revealed that an unauthorized party had access to certain systems for roughly a week between June 30 and July 5.  During that period, some information stored on the ILS network was acquired by the unauthorized actor, and other information was accessible and potentially viewed.  The company stated that on January 17, it learned that the personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) of its members was compromised during the attack.  The types of impacted information include names, addresses, birth dates, driver’s license details, IDs, Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical record numbers, diagnosis information, health insurance information, mental or physical treatment, and other health information.
