Description
On February 26, 2024, Financial Business and Consumer Solutions, Inc. (FBCS) discovered unauthorized access to certain systems within its network. The investigation determined the unauthorized actor accessed FBCS systems between February 14, 2024, and February 26, 2024. FBCS confirmed the incident did not impact computer systems outside its own network. Upon detection, FBCS immediately secured the affected environment and initiated an investigation with assistance from third-party computer forensics specialists to determine the incident's nature and scope. The unauthorized actor possessed the capability to view or acquire information stored on the compromised network during the two-week access period. FBCS completed a comprehensive review of the data at risk to identify potentially affected individuals and types of information exposed. The company stated this notification to affected parties was not delayed by law enforcement involvement.
The compromised information varied by individual and potentially included consumer names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other state identification numbers, medical claims information, provider details, clinical information (including diagnoses, conditions, medications, and treatment details), and health insurance information. FBCS reported the incident to federal law enforcement and implemented additional security safeguards in a newly built environment as part of its response. The company established a dedicated phone line and mailing address for affected individuals to seek additional information. FBCS advised potentially impacted persons to monitor account statements, explanation of benefits, and credit reports for suspicious activity while providing contact details for the three major credit bureaus. The notification included guidance on placing fraud alerts and credit freezes, detailing the documentation required for these processes under U.S. law. Specific state-level consumer protection resources were listed for residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. FBCS reiterated its commitment to information security but did not disclose technical details about the attack vector or the identity of the threat actors.
