MO HealthNet/InfoCrossing breach much longer and larger than previously recognized

Posted on September 23, 2013 by Dissent

The MO HealthNet mailing error breach due to a software error by its Business Associate InfoCrossings was much bigger than originally reported, it seems. Maria Altman reports:

Personal information for more than 25,000 Missourians in the state’s managed health plan went out to the wrong mailing addresses.

The Department of Social Services announced Monday that one of its MO HealthNet  contractors, Infocrossing Inc., sent the information out between December 2009 and June of this year.

It included full social security numbers for at least half of the people affected, and the last four digits for the rest.

MO HealthNet had originally reported that the breach occurred between October 2011 and June 2013. Now they’re it went back to December 2009? How was this not discovered before June of 2013? Did no one call them and complain about receiving others’ mail or what?
