I received 2 snail mails about a data breech

[debodun]

From a company called TriZetto indicating a suspicious activity on some healthcare provider systems in which sensitive data such as SSN, birthday, insurance IDs. The bottom line - an offer to enroll in a monitoring service.

I've received these notices before and nothing happened that I'm aware.

Has anyone else received these?

Sounds like a scam to me.

Are they offering this so you don’t become part of a class action suit against them. Sorry, rhetorical question - obviously you don’t know the answer.

When I've had data breach notices, they often offer free credit monitoring for a certain amount of time... I think usually a year. It's just part of the settlement if the person whose data was involved chooses to join the class action.

That’s what I’d expect too. I’d just be reading the fine print to be certain there are no limitations on still joining lawsuits.

From time to time there are data breaches on sites from businesses we deal with. It usually states the business affected. They're required to make you aware but it's usually far too late by the time they tell you.

Those of us who worked in IT know that many, if not most, data breeches are not reported. There is almost a daily attack on a company demanding ransom to unlock their system. Companies do not want you to know.
The absolute takeaway is that there is no such thing as computer security. Yes, by all means, use protective software to at least keep malware off your machine. But NO site you go on can gaurantee they won't get hacked and whatever info there is on that site can be taken.
