A cybersecurity incident has reportedly exposed the personal, financial and health records of nearly half a million Americans.
The mobility and assistive solutions provider Numotion says 494,000 customers are affected by a data breach witnessed between September 2nd, 2024, and November 18th, 2024, reports Security Week.
Numotion says an unknown entity managed to access the email accounts of the firm’s employees without authorization.
The firm says that after an extensive review, it determined that the emails in question contain sensitive customer information.
“The type of information that may have been viewed varied for each individual, but could have included names, dates of birth, product information, payment and financial account information, health insurance information, medical information, and for a minority of individuals, Social security numbers and driver’s license numbers.”
Numotion says it’s sending letters to all impacted customers to shed light on the data breach while offering identity theft protection services for users whose Social Security numbers were stolen
The firm says that for now, it hasn’t learned of any incident where a customer’s sensitive data has been misused for fraud or identity theft. But Numotion says affected customers should stay vigilant and report any strange activity related to identity theft, healthcare fraud or financial fraud.
“If individuals detect any suspicious activity, they should notify the entity with which the account is maintained, and promptly report any fraudulent activity to proper law enforcement authorities, including the police and their state attorney general.”
Numotion focuses on serving people with disabilities by providing customized assistive equipment such as wheelchairs, seating and positioning gear, as well as home accessibility and medical supplies.
