On September 18, 2024, SAG-AFTRA Health Plan learned that an employee’s email account had been compromised as a result of a phishing email. The unauthorized access occurred between September 17, 2024, and September 18, 2024. Upon discovering the incident, we acted swiftly to contain and remediate the issue. With the assistance of third-party cybersecurity experts, we launched an investigation to determine the scope of the breach. Our findings revealed that a single employee’s email account was accessed, but our primary systems remained secure. On October 3, 2024, they confirmed that the compromised email account contained personal information related to some Plan participants. Law enforcement has been notified, and the investigation is ongoing.
