Employee benefits platform Paylogix says hackers stole financial and health data
Paylogix, a company that manages employee benefits, has notified regulators that hackers accessed and stole sensitive financial and health information belonging to tens of thousands of people.
Why this matters: Benefits platforms sit on some of the most sensitive data that exists — health conditions, insurance details, banking information, and more. People did not choose Paylogix. Their employers did. That means tens of thousands of people had their most private information sitting in a system they never picked and probably never heard of. When a breach happens at that layer, the affected people are often the last to know and the least able to do anything about it.
