On December 2, 2024, we mailed notification letters to certain SAG-AFTRA Health Plan (the Plan) participants (participants) whose information may have been involved in a data incident. On March 14, 2025, following additional review, we notified certain participants including some spouses and dependents who may have also been involved in this incident.
On September 18, 2024, we learned that an employee’s email account had been compromised. The Plan immediately contained and remediated the issue, and with the assistance of leading third-party experts launched an investigation. The investigation determined that, between September 17, 2024 and September 18, 2024, an unauthorized party accessed the contents of a single employee’s email account. This incident resulted from a phishing email, and it is important to note that the Plan’s systems were not impacted. We have also notified law enforcement about this event.
As part of our investigation, we continued analyzing the data in the email account. On February 7, 2025, we determined that the email account may have contained information for certain participants including some spouses and dependents.
Our investigation determined that the email account contained emails and attachments used for administrative operations that may have included one or more of the following: name, Social Security number, and information associated with claims and health insurance information, such as health plan participant identification number, if applicable.
We take this matter very seriously. After detecting this unauthorized access, we took immediate steps to identify and contain this incident and will continue to implement and evaluate enhanced safeguards and security measures to further protect our systems and reduce the likelihood of a similar future event.
Notified individuals are encouraged to be on the alert for any suspicious activity related to their financial accounts and credit reports. We encourage notified individuals to regularly monitor their credit report, statements, and records to ensure that there are no transactions or other activities that were not initiated or authorized by them. Notified individuals should report any suspicious activity to their financial institution(s) or service provider(s) immediately. Additionally, we are offering complimentary credit monitoring services.
We have set up a designated incident response line to answer questions about the incident. The incident response line can be reached at (888) 458-5706, available 6 a.m. – 6 p.m. PST, except for major U.S. holidays.
