This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at **HealthEquity**, which resulted in unauthorized access to sensitive personal information, including names and protected health information of affected individuals.   ## What Happened? A recent report from the Massachusetts Attorney General's office indicates that the **HealthEquity** data breach occurred due to unauthorized actors obtaining personal information that allowed them to bypass account verification processes. Upon detecting suspicious activity within certain customer accounts, **HealthEquity** took immediate action to secure the affected accounts and launched a thorough investigation into the incident. The investigation revealed that while malicious actors gained access to certain accounts, they did not obtain the authentication information directly from **HealthEquity's** systems. The compromised data varies by individual but includes names and claims information associated with affected accounts. [Data breach letters](https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-138-healthequity-inc/download) were sent out by **HealthEquity** on December 18, 2024, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific types of data that may have been compromised in their case.   ## 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 **HealthEquity** data breach 1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from **HealthEquity** 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.
