Medical Data Exposed in Breach at True Health New Mexico

True Health New Mexico says in a security advisory posted to its website that it first learned of the security incident on Oct. 5, following an “early October” intrusion. THNM, which describes itself as a physician-led health insurance company, says the breach exposed names, birthdates, physical addresses, email addresses, insurance information, medical information, Social Security numbers, health account member IDs, provider information, dates of service and provider identification numbers. “Upon discovering the incident, we promptly took steps to secure and contain the impacted THNM systems and supplemented our internal response teams with external cybersecurity professionals and other outside experts,” the organization says. “We shut down certain systems where necessary, took other preventative measures, and supplemented our existing security monitoring, scanning, and protective measures.”
