No mention of malware or ransomware – somewhat of a rarity these days
HealthEquity, a US fintech firm for the healthcare sector, admits that a"data security event" it discovered at the end of June hit the data of a substantial 4.3 million individuals. Stolen details include addresses, telephone numbers and payment data.
In the company's original Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, it said no malicious code was found in its systems. There was also no mention of extortion, which suggests this was a straightforward data smash-and-grab job rather than ransomware. "As a result of our investigation, we took immediate actions including disabling all potentially compromised vendor accounts and terminating all active sessions; blocking all IP addresses associated with threat actor activity; and implementing a global password reset for the impacted vendor. Additionally, we enhanced our security and monitoring efforts, internal controls, and security posture.
