MI residents warned of widespread health care data breach

DETROIT, MI (MPRN)--   The Michigan Attorney General is advising people to take action to see if they were impacted by a data breach of Detroit-based Wolverine Solutions Group. 

The breach may have compromised the information of over 600,000 Michigan residents, including customers of Blue Cross Blue Shield, Health Alliance Plan, and McLaren Health Care, among others.

Kelly Rossman-McKinney is a spokesperson for the Attorney General. She says information including names, social security numbers, and dates of birth may have been accessed.

“They do not believe that customer information was actually extracted but they are issuing a warning and we’re issuing a warning, as well,” she says.

Rossman-McKinney says Michigan residents should put a fraud alert on their credit file and consider a security freeze.

She says all affected individuals are being contacted by Wolverine Solutions Group by mail.
