Notice of Data Security Incident

CBIZ KA Consulting Services, LLC (“CBIZ KA”) provides revenue assurance, Medicaid eligibility, and compliance solutions services to certain Healthcare Providers. On May 31, 2023, Progress Software, the publisher of the MOVEit® Transfer secure file transfer platform, disclosed a zero-day vulnerability in their MOVEit software. CBIZ KA uses MOVEit Transfer to securely transfer data files in the normal course of business.

CBIZ KA promptly launched an investigation, with the assistance of cybersecurity professionals, into the nature and scope of the MOVEit vulnerability. Through the investigation, CBIZ KA learned that an unauthorized party accessed a MOVEit Transfer server between May 29 and June 5, 2023, and downloaded certain files.

CBIZ KA worked to understand the contents of the files, and which covered entities those files were associated with. Beginning September 11, 2023, CBIZ KA provided certain of its Healthcare Provider clients with the results of its review, including the specific patient information involved. The information varied by Healthcare Provider, but may have included individuals’ names and one or more of the following: date of birth, date of service, diagnosis code(s), doctor’s or provider’s name, health insurance group and/or member number, information related to medical treatment or diagnosis, medical record number, Medicare or Medicaid number, patient account number, prescription, Social Security number and/or driver’s license number, and/or treatment cost and/or payment information.

On November 10, 2023, CBIZ KA began mailing letters with information about the incident to affected individuals on behalf of the Healthcare Providers. For eligible individuals whose Social Security numbers was involved, CBIZ KA is offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services through Kroll. We also recommend individuals review the statements they receive from their healthcare providers and health insurer, and contact the relevant provider or insurer immediately if they see services they did not receive.

CBIZ KA takes the responsibility of safeguarding information very seriously. To help ensure a similar incident does not reoccur, the identified vulnerability on the MOVEit Transfer server has been patched. A dedicated, toll-free call center has been established to answer questions about this incident, which can be reached at (866) 547-6907, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 6:30 pm Eastern Time (excluding U.S. holidays).

While CBIZ KA has no evidence of the misuse of any individual’s information as a result of this incident, CBIZ KA is providing the following information about steps that individuals can take to help protect their information:

We remind you it is always advisable to be vigilant for incidents of fraud or identity theft by reviewing your account statements and free credit reports for any unauthorized activity over the next 12 months. You may obtain a copy of your credit report, free of charge, once every 12 months from each of the three nationwide credit reporting companies. To order your annual free credit report, please visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll free at 1-877-322-8228. Contact information for the three nationwide credit reporting companies is as follows:

If you believe you are the victim of identity theft or have reason to believe your personal information has been misused, you should immediately contact the Federal Trade Commission and/or the Attorney General’s office in your state. You can obtain information from these sources about steps an individual can take to avoid identity theft as well as information about fraud alerts and security freezes. You should also contact your local law enforcement authorities and file a police report. Obtain a copy of the police report in case you are asked to provide copies to creditors to correct your records. Contact information for the Federal Trade Commission is as follows:

  • Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Response Center, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580, 1-877-IDTHEFT (438-4338), www.identitytheft.gov

Fraud Alerts and Credit or Security Freezes:

Fraud Alerts:  There are two types of general fraud alerts you can place on your credit report to put your creditors on notice that you may be a victim of fraud—an initial alert and an extended alert. You may ask that an initial fraud alert be placed on your credit report if you suspect you have been, or are about to be, a victim of identity theft. An initial fraud alert stays on your credit report for one year. You may have an extended alert placed on your credit report if you have already been a victim of identity theft with the appropriate documentary proof. An extended fraud alert stays on your credit report for seven years.

To place a fraud alert on your credit reports, contact one of the nationwide credit bureaus. A fraud alert is free. The credit bureau you contact must tell the other two, and all three will place an alert on their versions of your report.

For those in the military who want to protect their credit while deployed, an Active Duty Military Fraud Alert lasts for one year and can be renewed for the length of your deployment. The credit bureaus will also take you off their marketing lists for pre-screened credit card offers for two years, unless you ask them not to.

Credit or Security Freezes:  You have the right to put a credit freeze, also known as a security freeze, on your credit file, free of charge, which makes it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. That is because most creditors need to see your credit report before they approve a new account. If they cannot see your report, they may not extend the credit.

How do I place a freeze on my credit reports?There is no fee to place or lift a security freeze. Unlike a fraud alert, you must separately place a security freeze on your credit file at each credit reporting company. For information and instructions to place a security freeze, contact each of the credit reporting agencies at the addresses below:

You will need to supply your name, address, date of birth, Social Security number and other personal information.

After receiving your freeze request, each credit bureau will provide you with a unique PIN (personal identification number) or password. Keep the PIN or password in a safe place. You will need it if you choose to lift the freeze.

How do I lift a freeze?A freeze remains in place until you ask the credit bureau to temporarily lift it or remove it altogether. If the request is made online or by phone, a credit bureau must lift a freeze within one hour. If the request is made by mail, then the bureau must lift the freeze no later than three business days after getting your request.

If you opt for a temporary lift because you are applying for credit or a job, and you can find out which credit bureau the business will contact for your file, you can save some time by lifting the freeze only at that particular credit bureau. Otherwise, you need to make the request with all three credit bureaus.
