Young Consulting LLC Hit With Data Breach

Young Consulting, LLC, a risk management firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, has recently informed Blue Shield of California and other covered entities about a significant data breach that may compromise the personal information of various individuals. The breach, which occurred between April 10 and April 13, 2024, involved unauthorized access to Young Consulting’s network, during which certain files containing sensitive data were downloaded by an unauthorized actor. The company acted swiftly by taking affected systems offline and initiating a thorough investigation with the assistance of cybersecurity forensics experts.

The compromised data potentially includes names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and insurance policy and claim information. Although Young Consulting has not found evidence of misuse of this information to date, the breach raises concerns about the security of personal details. On June 28, 2024, Young Consulting confirmed to Blue Shield that the files were accessed by the unauthorized actor and began notifying potentially impacted individuals. The company has also reached out to law enforcement and regulatory authorities to address the breach.

In response to the incident, Young Consulting has taken substantial steps to secure its environment and enhance its security measures. The firm is reviewing its policies and procedures related to data protection and has implemented increased cybersecurity measures to prevent future occurrences. As a precaution, Young Consulting is offering affected individuals free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services to help mitigate potential risks associated with the breach.

For those affected, Young Consulting encourages vigilance in monitoring account statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Consumers are advised to place fraud alerts or credit freezes on their credit reports if necessary, and to take advantage of the free annual credit reports provided by major credit bureaus. For more information, individuals can contact Young Consulting at their assistance line or via mail, and can also reach out to consumer reporting agencies and regulatory bodies to further protect their personal information.
