Hoosier Medicaid Data Breach

(Indianapolis, IN) - If you’re a Hoosier Medicaid recipient, you may have had your personal information compromised.

 

On Friday afternoon the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration announced that software used by a contractor was breached, exposing the personal information of over 744,000 Hoosiers.

 

Info such as names, addresses, case numbers and Medicaid numbers were exposed by an app called MOVIEit used by Maximus Health Services. According to a press release, Social Security numbers of a few Medicaid members were impacted as well.

 

The government says the breach occurred in May, affecting companies and organizations worldwide, not just the FSSA.

 

Maximus is contacting all Medicaid members affected with information and options for credit monitoring.

 

For questions or further information, FSSA provided the following toll-free number: 1-833-919-4749.
