Healthcare fintech firm HealthEquity is warning that it suffered a data breach after a partner's account was compromised and used to access the Company's systems to steal protected health information.
The investigation revealed that the partner had been compromised by hackers who leveraged the hijacked account to gain unauthorized access to HealthEquity's systems and, later, exfiltrate sensitive health data.
"The accessed information included some personally identifiable information, which in some cases is considered protected health information, pertaining to certain of our members."
HealthEquity specializes in providing health savings account services and other consumer-directed benefits solutions, including flexible spending accounts, health reimbursement arrangements, and 401(k) retirement plans.
