Aetna Data Breach 2023 : Aetna Insurance Announces Data Breach<\/span><\/h2>\n

Some Aetna insurance members in Maine may have had their Data Breach due to a suspected cyberattack on a third-party vendor.\u00a0Some Aetna members receive hearing and flex card benefits from a company called NationsBenefits, which Aetna claims was involved in the cyber attack.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

NationsBenefits informed its affected consumers that a cyberattack occurred in late January. As the company explained, a “malicious actor” gained access to information on a third-party programme that was used to transfer files to and from Aetna.<\/p>\n

First name, middle initial, last name, gender, health plan ID number, address, phone number, and date of birth were among the personally identifiable information (PII) compromised, per a report by NationsBenefits.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear how many Mainers were affected by this data breach, but a lawsuit in New Hampshire indicates over 7,000 people there were.<\/p>\n

SOLUTIONS FOR THOSE AFFECTED<\/span><\/h2>\n

Credit reports and bank statements should be checked frequently. This is the most straightforward method for spotting suspicious behaviour in its infancy.<\/p>\n

Report possible scam. Your bank or any of the three credit reporting agencies can help you with this. This may alert you to any potentially fraudulent activity on your accounts.<\/p>\n

Put a hold on your credit. This is the most effective defense against identity theft, which can lead to new credit accounts being opened in your name. When you want to open a new account, you can unfreeze your credit for no cost. Instructions on how to proceed are provided below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
