Summary
The FBI has received multiple reports of cyber criminals increasingly targeting healthcare payment processors to redirect victim payments. In each of these reports, unknown cyber criminals used employees’ publicly-available Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and social engineering techniques to impersonate victims and obtain access to files, healthcare portals, payment information, and websites. In one case, the attacker changed victims’ direct deposit information to a bank account controlled by the attacker, redirecting $3.1 million from victims’ payments.

      I am a breach blogger. I don’t call people to resolve their problems. You need to contact the entity that was responsible for your breach, not this news site. I have deleted your phone number and name to protect your privacy so that you don’t increase your risk of even more ID theft.
