Featured Image

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Access TeleCare data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Access TeleCare, which may have affected an undetermined number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the California Attorney General's office stated that Access TeleCare discovered unauthorized access to multiple employee email accounts between November 6, 2023, and January 8, 2024. The data breach was identified through suspicious activity in an employee's email account, leading to immediate account deactivation and an investigation. The investigation confirmed the compromised information included:

  • names,
  • dates of birth,
  • and medical information

Data breach letters were sent out by Access TeleCare on December 23, 2024, informing affected individuals about the compromised information.

 

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

  1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
    1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
    2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
    3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries

  2. Consider freezing your credit
    1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze
    2. Understand this prevents new accounts from being opened in your name
    3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit

  3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the Access TeleCare data breach
    1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Access TeleCare
    2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
    3. Verify all communications through official channels

  4. Change passwords for affected accounts
    1. Create strong, unique passwords for each account
    2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
    3. Consider using a password manager for better security

  5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
    1. Add this extra layer of security to all important accounts
    2. Use authenticator apps rather than SMS when available
    3. Keep backup codes in a secure location
