Security tools identified suspicious activity in an employee’s inbox on July 31, 2024, and terminated access. Option Care Health learned about the incident on August 1, 2024, and launched a forensic investigation which confirmed that an unauthorized third party had access to the account for a for a short period on July 31, 2024.
The account was reviewed, and on September 16, 2024, it was determined patients’ protected health information had been exposed. The notification letter to the California Attorney General does not state the types of data involved, but that information is detailed in each of the individual notification letters. Complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services have been offered through Kroll."
