Clover Health says employee accounts accessed in cyber incident
CLOV•Cyber incident involved three employee accounts
July 17 (Reuters) - Clover Health Investments said in a regulatory filing on Friday that it detected unusual login activity on some of its information systems on July 4 and later found a hacker had gained access to three employee accounts through social engineering.
- The health insurer said the affected accounts belonged to non-managerial health plan employees who handled member visit scheduling and broker-facing sales work.
- These accounts could access some personal and protected health information, according to the company, but not corporate financial or claims systems.
- Clover began an investigation with external cybersecurity experts, took steps to contain the activity and notified law enforcement, it said.
- The investigation is ongoing and the company is still reviewing what information may have been accessed or taken. Clover believes its response curbed and ended the unauthorized access.
- It also said it does not believe the incident has had, or is likely to have, a material impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
- Clover is reviewing legal and regulatory requirements and will notify affected members if needed, it added.
- Clover Health Investments is a U.S. health insurer focused on providing Medicare Advantage plans and technology tools for doctors.
