Really looking forward to explaining to my kid that his PII has been compromised for basically his entire life because he had the audacity to be born at a time when the positive incentives for computer security were nearly nonexistent and the regulatory penalties favored doing the bare minimum you can get away with.
@while1malloc0 Was it from Change Healthcare or HealthEquity? Got letters from both of them recently.
"What information may have been involved?"
"The affected data primarily consisted of sign-up information for accounts and benefits we administer."
* First name
* Last name
* Address
* Telephone number
* Employee ID
* Employer
* Social Security Number
* Health card number
* Health plan member number
* Dependent information (for general contact information only)
* Service type
* Diagnoses
* Prescription details
* Payment card information
Diagnoses? Prescription details? That "primarily" in the preceding sentence is doing some fucking LEGWORK I tell ya.

No problem, here's the FTC decision
