Magellan Health Systems Data Breach (2019)

A data breach at Magellan Health, Inc. has put the personal information of Florida Blue members at risk, the company announced Friday. Florida Blue says “less than 1 percent” of its approximately 5 million members were affected. The breach, which reportedly occurred on May 28, was traced back to an employee who handles the healthcare provider’s member data. Magellan believes the employee’s email was hacked in a phishing scam. In doing so, numerous personal identifiers including the members’ names, dates of birth and prescriptions might’ve been accessed.The private information of nearly 44,000 TennCare members may have been stolen by a hacker who breached the email system of the agency’s pharmacy management vendor, officials announced on Friday. The private information that was potentially compromised includes names, social security numbers, member IDs, health plans, provider names and the names of drugs members have been prescribed.
