"950,000 Impacted by Young Consulting Data Breach"

Software solutions provider Young Consulting recently notified over 950,000 individuals that their personal information was compromised in a data breach earlier this year.  The incident was discovered on April 13, when the company "became aware of technical difficulties" within its environment.  During the investigation, the company found that the attackers had access to its network between April 10 and April 13 and that they copied files containing personal information, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, insurance policy/claim information, prescriptions, and provider names.  According to the software maker, the compromised data belongs to health insurer Blue Shield of California and "other covered entities." Young Consulting provides integrated software solutions for medical stop loss organizations.  The software maker did not share further information on the affected entities or the type of cyberattack it fell victim to.  In early May, however, the BlackSuit ransomware group added Young Consulting to its Tor-based leaks site, claiming the theft of business, employee, financial, and other types of data.
