Just four months after the Change Cyberhack, UnitedHealth Care is hit again.
Community Health Centers (CHC), has disclosed a major data breach. CHC has revealed that a “substantial quantity of data” was stolen, impacting a “substantial proportion of people in America.” UnitedHealth’s CEO Andrew Witty estimated one-third of all Americans have been affected by the breach. That is over 111 million people.
“While CHC cannot confirm exactly what data has been affected for each impacted individual, information involved may have included contact information (such as first and last name, address, date of birth, phone number and email.
This means that millions of individuals could be at risk of identity theft and other forms of fraud.
