What Caused the Blue & Co. Data Breach?
The Blue & Co. data breach was only recently announced, and more information is expected in the near future. However, at this point, Blue & Co. does not appear to have posted a website notice or issued a press release discussing the incident. Thus, Blue’s filing with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights is the only course of information at this time, and it provides only limited information on what led up to the breach.
According to this source, the Blue & Co. data breach was the result of a “hacking / IT incident” involving a network server. While it’s possible that Blue’s systems were targeted in the attack, it’s also possible that Blue is reporting the breach on behalf of one of its third-party vendors or business partners.
Either way, after learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, Blue & Co. reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted. Blue recently completed this process.
