T. Rowe Price, New York Life Caught Up in Data Breach Affecting 6M Customers

IMS said it conducted a thorough and time-intensive review of the data at issue, with the assistance of third-party experts, to identify the personal information subject to unauthorized access.

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

“While we are unaware of any instances since the incident occurred in which the personal information involved has been fraudulently used, we are providing you with information about the incident and steps you can take to protect your personal information, should you feel it necessary to do so,” the IMS letter to consumers says.

Early this year, Bank of America offered identity theft protection to over 57,000 customers in deferred compensation plans that it services, citing a Nov. 3 cybersecurity event at IMS, according to a filing with the Maine AG’s office.
