Cognizant / TMG Health reported a data breach incident where an unauthorized party gained access to confidential consumer data stored on their computer network, potentially putting sensitive information of individuals at risk.
According to Cognizant / TMG between June 22, 2023, and July 18, 2023, they detected a potential network security incident that took place from May 30, 2023, to June 3, 2023. An investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party had accessed personal information related to certain consumers.
Given the time period of the incident, as well as reporting from at least two institutions - Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona and Indiana University Health which reported TMG Health as the third party that was breached in their incidents, it's very probable that the incident is related to the MOVEit file transfer vulnerability.
This compromised data encompasses personal details such as
- names,
- addresses,
- email addresses,
- phone numbers,
- dates of birth,
- Social Security Numbers,
- claim numbers,
- bank account numbers,
- medical service information.
Apparently, over 192,000 individuals are impacted in the breach
On September 1, 2023, Cognizant / TMG initiated the process of sending data breach notification letters to all individuals affected by this recent data security incident. These letters are intended to provide victims with a detailed list of the specific information that may have been compromised.
In 2017, Cognizant completed its acquisition of TMG Health, a leading provider of business process services in the United States' Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Managed Medicaid markets.
