FastHealth Corporation

The Washington State Office of the Attorney General disclosed a data breach affecting **FastHealth Corporation** in February 2018. The incident stemmed from **unauthorized access** to the company’s systems between **August 14, 2017, and August 18, 2017**, compromising the **personal information of approximately 2,876 Washington residents**. The exposed data included **names and Social Security numbers (SSNs)**, which are highly sensitive identifiers often targeted for identity theft, financial fraud, or phishing schemes. While the breach did not involve ransomware or a large-scale operational disruption, the exposure of SSNs poses a **long-term risk** to affected individuals, potentially enabling fraudulent activities such as loan applications, tax filings, or medical identity theft. The breach was attributed to a **security lapse allowing external actors to infiltrate systems**, though the exact method (e.g., phishing, exploited vulnerability) was not specified. FastHealth Corporation was required to notify impacted residents and likely faced regulatory scrutiny under state data protection laws, including potential fines or mandatory credit monitoring for victims.
