780,000 Utah people had sensitive information breached in state computer hacking

There are only 300,000 Utah people enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, however sensitive information about 780,000 people were taken by computer hackers two weeks ago.  Victims are those who saw a health care provider in the last four months.

Scope of Utah Medicaid data breach explodes

The Social Security numbers of an additional 255,000 Utahns may have been exposed to hackers in last week’s data breach, while less sensitive information — such as names and birth dates — from 350,000 people may have been released.

State officials announced the new, dramatically higher numbers at a Monday press conference. They now estimate the Social Security numbers of a total of 280,000 patients, plus other information about another 500,000, were exposed.

The victims were likely people who saw a health care provider in the last four months, they said.

Two Sundays ago, hackers believed to be operating from Eastern Europe broke into an inadequately-protected computer server at the Utah Department of Health.

The breach was initially reported as involving 24,000 claims. As the investigation progressed, officials said hackers stole information from 181,604 Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program recipients between April 1 and April 2.

Of those clients, officials initially said 25,096 had their Social Security numbers compromised.

At Monday’s press conference, officials said the newly-identified victims may have been Medicaid or CHIP patients, or could be patients of providers who were uncertain about their coverage.

The state’s computer systems are the responsibility of the Department of Technology Services. The breach is being blamed on employee who put a server online without its proper security. State officials believe it was a mistake and have declined to name the employee.

The state manages 260,000 Medicaid clients and 40,000 in CHIP. About two out of three Medicaid recipients are children.
