BrianKrebs: Ruh-roh.

Dear Valued Broker,

On April 17, Point32Health, the parent organization of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan, identified a cybersecurity ransomware incident that has impacted systems we use to service members, accounts, brokers, and providers. At this time, most systems impacted are on the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care side of our business.

After detecting the unauthorized party, we proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat. We have notified law enforcement, are in the process of notifying regulators, and are working with third-party cybersecurity experts to conduct a thorough investigation into this incident and remediate the situation. This process will take time.

Importantly, our top priority is continuing to provide access to care for our members. While we work diligently to restore affected systems as quickly and as safely as possible, our team is working around the clock to provide workarounds for members to receive the services they need.

Please rest assured that we take the privacy and security of the data entrusted to us seriously. If during our investigation we determine any individuals’ sensitive information is involved in this incident, we will notify them in accordance with applicable law.

We will continue to keep you informed as we navigate this situation and relevant information becomes available. Thank you for your continued patience and partnership as we work through this difficult situation.

Sincerely,

Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan
