What is the Care N' Care Insurance Company Data Breach About?
Care N' Care Insurance Company, Inc. is a Medicare health plan alternative that serves the senior community in North Texas. They recently notified the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services of a data breach to their computer system that exposed the confidential information of 33,032 plan members. The extent of the data exposed is not clear.Recent data breaches in the health care and insurance industries included customer data such as the following personally sensitive and identifiable information:
• Patients' Names,
• Date of birth,
• Address,
• Phone number,
• Social Security number,
• Driver's license number,
• Financial account information,
• Bank card numbers,
• Treatment and diagnosis history,
• Prescription information,
• Health insurance information and more.
Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. The theft of sensitive, protected health information, and personally identifiable information can lead to a plethora of problems for individuals who are the victims of data breaches that occurred in databases they were not even aware of. Typically, the individual that may have been hacked includes sensitive and personally identifiable information.
Data breaches can also result in a long-term erosion of personal data privacy, as the hacked personally identifiable information may be traded or shared amongst cyber-criminals for years to come, on the internet, the dark web, or elsewhere.. This significantly increases the risk of further identity theft, financial fraud and massive headaches for consumers and victims.
