Dozens of payers affected by vendor ransomware attack

Dozens of payers and some providers have been affected by a data breach involving printing and mailing services vendor OneTouchPoint.

In a July 27 notice, the vendor said it discovered encrypted files on some of its computer systems in April, and an investigation determined there was unauthorized access to its servers. 

OneTouchPoint was unable to determine what information was accessed in its system, but it notified customers June 3 about information that was potentially accessed, including names, member IDs and health assessment information. The company said it found no evidence of misuse of any information.

Though not named in the OneTouchPoint notice, Aetna said it was also affected by the breach.
