Excellus Data Breach

Rochester Consumer Protection Attorneys, Serving Buffalo & the Surrounding Areas

On September 9, 2015, Excellus announced a serious data breach affecting more than 10 million people. Personal information, including medical information, of its customers was stolen by hackers.

According to a letter sent to its customers, Excellus learned of a data breach on August 5, 2015 in which cyber attackers had executed a sophisticated attack and obtained sensitive information, including Social Security numbers and claim information. In addition, Excellus data breach investigators learned of an initial attack nearly two years earlier on December 23, 2013. The victims of this Excellus data breach include children.

If you were affected by the Excellus data breach, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our Rochester consumer protection attorneys at (888) 997-4110 to learn more.

Excellus has offered the services of Kroll to provide identity theft protection at no cost to the affected individuals for two years. The sensitive information obtained by the hackers, however, may continue to pose problems for the victims, especially children, well into the future.
