Got 3 letters, wife got 1 from Practice Resources Inc Incident report

Mr. Ed

Be what you is not what you what you ain’t

Practice Resources which provides billing and other professional services to a number of healthcare entities was subject to ransomware attack. As part of extensive investigation PRL worked diligently to identify protected health information and identifiable information that determined the incident may have impacted identifiable information related to me. No evidence that information was misused.

The incident may have resulted in unauthorized access or to acquisition your name, home address, dates of treatment, health plan, and/or medical record number.

As an added precaution PRI has arranged for credit monitoring services at no charge, plus a proactive fraud assistance to help with questions.

To enroll simply go to following url address and provide code. Note signing up for monitoring services, you will be asked to verify personal information for your own protection and verification of identity.

Essentially I give up my privacy, internet history, internet accounts, online banking information, email correspondence/contacts, social media, my iTunes library, bank and credit cards, my profile and any and everything on my computer hard drive to in exchange computer monitoring services will have access to my private to prevent fraud.

Thank goodness there are companies who are willing to monitor everything we do, what we do, where we go, friends and associates, what we buy (to better serve us) web history, forum and chat room activities, photos, music etc. Sure takes a load of me having someone or something tell me what do.

When someone screws up, corporate vampires swoop down to take advantage of victims in exchange for something that can be beneficial to them. Business are in business to turn a profit and make money. What may be advertised as free can cost you more than what can give.
 

I received one of those letters too.

At first I thought it might be a scam, but today it was mentioned on the morning news.

I tried to sign up for the monitoring using my phone with no luck.

I checked the letter for a telephone number and found none.

I will try to sign up again on the computer.

The letter also mentioned freezing credit bureau accounts. Mine have been frozen since the large Experion breach a few years ago.

IMO this letter and service is more about limiting liability for the breach than it is about protecting the people that may be impacted.
