"Colorado Health Agency Says 4 Million Impacted by MOVEit Hack"

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) has recently revealed that the personal information of millions of individuals was compromised in a data breach resulting from the recent MOVEit cyberattack.  The HCPF informed the Maine Attorney General’s office that it has started informing close to 4.1 million individuals that their personal information might have been compromised in the incident.  HCPF revealed that, on May 28, an unauthorized party accessed certain HCPF files that IBM, which is providing certain services to the organization, was transferring using MOVEit.  Those files contained the personal information of both Health First Colorado (Medicaid) and Child Health Plan Plus members.  The exposed information, the organization says, includes names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, demographic or income information, medical information, treatment information, and health insurance information.  On August 11, the agency started notifying the potentially impacted individuals of the data breach, offering free credit monitoring and identity restoration services.
