Missouri's Department of Social Services warns that protected Medicaid healthcare information was exposed in a data breach after IBM suffered a MOVEit data theft attack.
Yesterday, the Missouri Department of Social Services disclosed a data breach that exposed health information related to Medicaid services in the state.
"The Missouri Department of Social Services is responding to a May 2023 data security incident that occurred with IBM Consulting that involved Progress Software's MOVEit Transfer software," reads the DSS data breach notification.
IBM confirmed to BleepingComputer yesterday that their MOVEit Transfer server was breached in these attacks, allowing data theft.
"IBM has worked in partnership with the Missouri Department of Social Services to determine and minimize the impact of the incident involving MOVEit Transfer, a non-IBM data transfer program provided by Progress Software," IBM told BleepingComputer in a statement.
DSS warns that due to the size of the stolen files and how they are formatted, it may take some time to analyze the data and fully determine the scope of the data breach.
