OneTouchPoint, Inc., Data Incident Impacts Medical Mutual Groups

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Members of some Medical Mutual groups have been impacted by a third-party vendor data incident.

OneTouchPoint (OTP) provides printing and mailing services for Medical Mutual’s Quit Logix/QuitLine tobacco cessation program, administered by National Jewish Health. Medical Mutual learned on July 26, 2022, that member information may have been impacted by a ransomware attack experienced by OTP on April 28, 2022. The OTP data incident did not impact Medical Mutual systems or other member information.

The OTP incident potentially affected names, addresses, dates of birth and “quit date” goals of Quit Logix/QuitLine participants. This information was used by National Jewish Health to send welcome letters and program information. Social Security numbers, financial information or other medical information were NOT disclosed. Medical Mutual will be sending notification letters to impacted members. However, at this time, Medical Mutual has no evidence this information has been used to commit identity theft or fraud.

Medical Mutual is reviewing the facts and circumstances of the OTP data incident, as well as relevant business practices regarding the privacy and security of its members’ personal information. As necessary, the company will take appropriate steps to help prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future.

As with any data incident, members are encouraged to remain vigilant and consider taking precautionary measures such as:

• Reviewing personal account statements
