Nearly three million people had sensitive information leaked during an October cyberattack on the prescriptions management company Sav-Rx. In filings to regulators last week and a notice on its website, the company said names, addresses, eligibility data, insurance identification numbers and Social Security numbers were accessed when hackers breached their network on October 3.
Sav-Rx, which manages prescription drug benefits for hundreds of unions and other organizations, discovered the attack on October 8 when they experienced a network disruption.
The company's IT system was restored within 24 hours and all prescriptions were shipped on time without delay.
Law enforcement agencies were notified of the attack.
An investigation completed on April 30 revealed that the hackers accessed non-clinical systems and obtained files related to Sav-Rx's medication benefits management services platform.
The company told regulators in Maine that a total of 2,812,336 people were affected.
The attack on Sav-Rx came three months before another major pharmaceutical platform - Change Healthcare - was attacked, compromising the information of allegedly one-third of all Americans.
