HealthEquity says data breach is an ‘isolated incident’

Posted on July 5, 2024 by Dissent

Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai reports:

On Tuesday, health tech services provider HealthEquity disclosed in a filing with federal regulators that it had suffered a data breach, in which hackers stole the “protected health information” of some customers.

In an 8-K filing with the SEC, the company said it detected “anomalous behavior by a personal use device belonging to a business partner,” and concluded that the partner’s account had been compromised by someone who then used the account to access members’ information.

On Wednesday, HealthEquity disclosed more details of the incident with TechCrunch.
