Following a thorough investigation conducted with third-party cybersecurity experts, HealthFund Solutions confirmed on October 4, 2024, that an unauthorized party had accessed confidential consumer information. While the specific types of compromised data have not been publicly disclosed, individual notification letters contain detailed information about the exact nature of the exposed information for each affected person. Data breach letters were sent out by HealthFund Solutions on November 1, 2024, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
