Threat Risk: Medium
Victim: HUSKY Health (Connecticut Medicaid)
Incident: Unauthorized access to member claims and payment information.
Impact: Exposure of PII and billing data for approximately 41,000 members.
Attacker: Unidentified threat actors
Analysis: Unauthorized access to a provider portal led to the leak of claims and billing data for thousands of individuals. While sensitive identifiers like Social Security numbers remained secure, the exposure of medical service dates and insurance details increases the risk of targeted social engineering.
