Software solutions provider Young Consulting is notifying over 950,000 individuals that their personal information was compromised in a data breach earlier this year.
The incident was discovered on April 13, when the company “became aware of technical difficulties” within its environment.
“We immediately took certain systems offline to contain the incident and launched an investigation, with the assistance of a cybersecurity forensics firm, to determine the nature and scope of the event,” Young Consulting explains in a notification on its website.
The company discovered that the attackers had access to its network between April 10 and April 13, and that they copied files containing personal information, including names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, insurance policy/claim information, prescriptions, and provider names.
