State attorneys general send warnings of Change Healthcare breach, urge residents to respond

Posted on July 11, 2024 by Dissent

Read Change Healthcare’s Substitute Notice.

Individual notices will go out at the end of July, but they may not have your address to notify you individually.

Chad Van Alstin writes:

Multiple state attorney generals have sent notices, informing residents about the Change Healthcare breach and urging them to enroll in the credit monitoring and identity theft protection the company is required to offer under HIPAA regulations.

The notices have been covered by local news outlets in multiple states, with attorneys general assuming many people in every state will be impacted, given the cyberattack resulted in personal information and medical records of an estimated one-third of Americans being put up for sale on the dark web.

“The recent data breach at Change Healthcare is unprecedented and could affect millions of Minnesotans,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement. “I encourage everyone to avail themselves of the free credit monitoring and identity theft protections being offered by Change Healthcare, and to be on the lookout for signs that bad actors have access to their personal and medical information.”

Other state attorneys general have made similar statements, with some warning that, although the initial ransomware attack on Change Healthcare happened in February, residents should still remain vigilant.

      There are probably a lot of personal injury law firms out there already advertising that they are looking to sign up potential plaintiffs for a class action suit, and some lawsuits have already been filed. My site cannot help anyone sue Change Healthcare or any other entity. You’ll have to just search online to find law firms that are active in this case.
