T. Rowe Price, New York Life Implicated in Data Breach Affecting 6 Million Customers

IMS said it conducted a thorough and time-consuming review of the data in question, with the help of third-party experts, to identify the personal information that was subject to unauthorized access.

Depending on the individual, the information exposed may include Social Security number, date of birth, treatment/medical record information, biometric data, email address and password, username and password, driver’s license number or state identification number, financial account information, payment card information, passport number, tribal identification number and U.S. military identification number, according to an IMS notice to the Maine office.

“While we are not aware of any cases since the incident in which the affected personal information has been misused, we are providing you with information about the incident and the steps you can take to protect your personal information, if you feel it is necessary to do so,” the IMS letter to consumers states.

Earlier this year, Bank of America offered identity theft protection to more than 57,000 customers under deferred compensation plans it manages, citing a Nov. 3 cybersecurity event at IMS, according to a filing with the Maine attorney general’s office.
