Talk:2023 MOVEit data breach

US DSS/Medicaid

Received yesterday, sent Aug. 9th, 2023: The Missouri Department of Social Services sent a letter to Medicaid holders. DSS uses IBM as a contractor, and because of the "critical vulnerability" in MOVEit Transfer, anyone who has Medicaid has possibly had their information stolen. DSS is investigating and has already determined the information taken was Medicaid participant health information. They are still analyzing the files, as they recieved a copy and due to the size and formatting it will "take time to complete this analysis." They've stated the information involved may include participants "name, department client number (DCN), date of birth, possible benefit eligibility status or coverage, and medical claims information." They have said they will "contact additional people individually if needed." They have recommended for people recieving this letter to monitor/review their credit reports during this time. They further suggest they can receive a credit freeze, or request a free credit report from the "three major reporting services," and then proceeds to list contact information for Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. They have also partnered with IDX, a ZeroFox Company, to have a dedicated call center for any Medicaid participants with questions or concerns relating to the breach. They also created a website to answer many questions people may commonly have, as well as to place updates regarding the status of the investigation. 71.36.203.90 (talk) 17:43, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
