Affinity Health Plan Acknowledges Data Breach
(April 21, 2010)
A New York managed health care service is notifying more than 400,000 people that their personally identifiable information may have been compromised. The data were held on the hard drive of a digital copier that had been leased by Affinity Health Plan and then returned to the leasing company. The notification follows an NBC News story about information contained on hard drives of used digital copiers. Affinity has not yet reviewed the data, but the breach is believed to affect former and current employees, providers, job applicants, members, and coverage applicants.
