“Anthem MaineHealth disclosed a third-party data breach to the Maine Attorney General’s Office that impacted 13,406 individuals. On August 5, the company learned that an unauthorized person was offering to make data available that was allegedly taken from Choice Health, one of AMH Health’s vendors. An investigation confirmed that a single Choice Health database was accessible through the internet due to a technical security configuration issue caused by a third-party service provider.“
“The unauthorized party gained access to the database and obtained certain files on May 7, 2022. According to Anthem MaineHealth’s official filing, the third-party data breach involved personal health information (PHI), including name, email addresses, social security number, health plan carrier, and Medicare ID number.“
““The database is no longer accessible through the Internet. Choice Health has also taken steps to enhance their data security measures to prevent the occurrence of a similar event in the future, including requiring multi-factor authentication for all access to database files.”“
