Attackers had silent read-only access for three weeks (December 22, 2025 – January 15, 2026), exfiltrating SSNs, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, and health benefits enrollment data (FSA, HRA, COBRA) — some records dating back to 2018. Security experts highlight that read-only access is not low-risk, as it enables systematic data exfiltration without triggering destructive-attack alerts. The incident underscores the hidden exposure risk of backend third-party processors, where individuals have no direct relationship or visibility. Recommendations include treating sensitive data access as high-signal events, alerting on abnormal read patterns, enforcing least privilege, and requiring independent audits and data minimization from vendors. Affected individuals are offered 12 months of identity protection through Kroll. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
