Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama (BCBSAL) learned on July 8 one of its vendor partners, North Highland Company, LLC, suffered a significant cyberattack on their information technology systems. The incident resulted in the potential compromise of personal information of some current and former members of BCBSAL’s Medicare Advantage plan, “Blue Advantage.”
North Highland first became aware of the cyberattack on June 6 and quickly took steps to secure their systems and engage third-party forensic response experts to assist in their remediation efforts and prevent future incidents.
