American medical coding and petite dp sex videosrisk assessment firm Episource confirmed in a notice that it was affected by a data breach earlier this year.
On February 6, Episource discovered unusual activity on its computers, it reported in the notice. It began investigating, involving a special team and law enforcement, and learned that a cybercriminal viewed and took copies of data between January 27 and February 6.

While the data seen and taken may not have been the same for everyone, the information involved in the breach was:
Contact information: Names, addresses, phone numbers, and emails
Other personal information: Social Security numbers or dates of birth
Health insurance data: Health plans/policies, insurance companies, member/group ID numbers, and Medicaid/Medicare/government payer ID numbers
Health data: medical record numbers, doctors, diagnoses, medicines, test results, images, care, and treatment
The notice states that financial, banking, and credit card information "largely were not impacted." Episource began notifying impacted customers of the individuals and data impacted on April 23. It warns that individuals should monitor their explanations of benefits received from their health care plans and their banking statements.
If individuals notice suspicious activity on their bank or credit card statements, or receive notices for health services they haven't received, they should report it to the relevant authority (such as their credit card company or doctor). If individuals believe they're victims of a crime, they should contact law enforcement, the notice states. Basically, watch out for healthcare scams.
Earlier this year, another massive healthcare data breach (this time at medical non-profit, Laboratory Services Cooperative) compromised the data of over a million people.
Healthcare scams, like romance scams and other internet scams, are unfortunately common. The Federal Trade Commission published tips on spotting healthcare scams, such as warning signs and what to do before signing up for a health insurance plan.
