"Blue Shield of California Discloses Data Breach, Number of Members Impacted Unclear"
It has recently been revealed that data on Blue Shield of California members may have been exposed due to a vulnerability in the MOVEit file transfer platform. The insurer was notified on Sept. 1 by a vendor that indicated it was a victim of the data breach. The vendor found on Aug. 23 that an unauthorized user had tapped into information in the MOVEit server and then took the server offline. After an investigation, Blue Shield of California discovered that this third party extracted data from the server on May 28 and May 31.
