TMG Health Security Incident

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona (AZ Blue) was informed of a cyber-attack that happened to TMG Health, a company that provides data services to assist AZ Blue with enrollment-related files. TMG Health reported that the incident may involve personal information of some of our Medicare prescription drug plan members. Members potentially affected by this incident were notified. No AZ Blue systems were directly impacted by this cyber-attack.

What we know today:

On June 21, 2023, TMG Health learned that it was the victim of a cyber-attack. TMG Health has determined that the downloaded data may include AZ Blue Medicare prescription drug plan members' names and one or more of the following information: member ID, address, email address, phone number, date of birth, Social Security Number, and/or banking information.

In response, TMG Health took steps to make sure its systems were safe, began an investigation to help it understand what happened, and contacted law enforcement.

TMG Health discovered that some of its data files were downloaded by a person who did not have permission to take them.

TMG Health is also continuing to monitor its systems, and it is updating its systems to try to prevent this from happening again. The company is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your information and is taking this incident very seriously.
