Featured Image

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent E-Benefit Solution data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at E-Benefit Solution, which potentially exposed sensitive personal identifiable information including Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, and medical information.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Massachusetts Attorney General's office states that the E-Benefit Solution data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident that compromised the company's computer network. The unauthorized access was first detected on July 11, 2024, leading to an immediate response from the company to contain the breach and secure their systems. Following a thorough investigation with external cybersecurity experts, E-Benefit Solution confirmed on December 10, 2024, that unauthorized actors had potentially accessed and acquired confidential consumer data. The compromised information includes:

  • Names
  • Social Security numbers
  • Driver's license numbers
  • Passport numbers
  • Financial account numbers
  • Dates of birth
  • Health insurance information
  • Medical information
  • Medicaid numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by E-Benefit Solution on January 13, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and specific types of personal information that may have been compromised.

 

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 E-Benefit Solution data breach
    1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from E-Benefit Solution
    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
