Data breach hits Blue Shield of California vendor

Members of Blue Shield of California may have had their data exposed after a data breach in late November. The insurer’s vendor discovered unauthorized access to its MOVEit server from an unknown vulnerability. The secure file-transfer tool collects information for vision benefits ranging from personal details to claim numbers and treatment details, which may have been accessed. Affected members are being offered free credit monitoring and identity restoration services. Blue Shield emphasized its own systems were not vulnerable to this breach.
