Impact of the Designed Receivable Solutions Data Breach on Your Privacy

Details about the breach are still emerging as no breach of notification yet is available to the public.

The following types of information may have been potentially exposed. This can lead to severe consequences, so it’s crucial to act:

  • Personal Identifiers: Names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security Numbers
  • Health Data: Medical diagnoses, treatment information, health insurance details
  • Financial Information: Data related to billing, payments, and debt collection

Immediate Steps to Take

  1. Hypervigilance is Key: Meticulously monitor all your financial accounts and health insurance records. Look for any:
    • Unexplained withdrawals or charges
    • Billing for medical services you didn’t receive
    • Changes in your health insurance coverage or benefits
  2. Password Security: Immediately change passwords for these critical accounts:

    • Email (your primary and any connected accounts)
    • Banking and financial websites
    • Social media
  • Any services using your health insurance information
    • Use strong, unique passwords and consider a password manager for help.
  1. Protect Your Credit: Take proactive measures to limit potential damage.

    • Credit Freeze: Contact the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) and place a freeze on your credit report. This makes it much harder for anyone to open new accounts in your name.
    • Fraud Alert: Set a fraud alert with one of the credit bureaus. This notifies lenders to take extra verification steps before extending credit.

Additional Protective Measures

  • Credit Report Review: Request free copies from https://www.annualcreditreport.com and scrutinize them carefully.
  • Tax-Related Protection: File your taxes as early as possible to minimize the risk of tax fraud.
  • Phishing Alert: Be wary of suspicious emails, texts, or calls related to the breach, especially those asking for personal information. DRS and legitimate organizations won’t request sensitive data this way.
