Boy am I in wring someone's neck mode The State of Utah Dept of Health had a security breach recently where the server was broken into and thousands of people identity compromised, including health care info and social security numbers. It was supposedly the Medicaid (state aide) and Children health. Ok bad deal but I have never been on either, so I am ok. NOT I got a letter telling me my info was compromised. Apparently drs and hospitals submit your info to the State to see if you have Medicaid or are eligible for Medicaid. I gave no one permission to submit my SS# and info to anyone and I have two insurances and paid the deductible up front , they also check for Medicare. This is just plain wrong, no one should be able to do that without a persons consent and knowledge. So here I am with my personal info out there and I have to have my credit monitored for a year, well just fine, a lot of good that is going to do my if we are trying to buy a house and someone is messing with it.

I am calling everyone I can today, this is just crap.

That's ridiculous. This happened to me a few years ago at my bank. I was on vacation and tried to use my debit card and it was declined... uhhhh, really? Called my bank and found out that a bunch of account numbers had been stolen so they had to shut down the card. A call would have been nice to know that I was going to have NO money on vacation.

I don't blame you for being ticked.

This happened to me a few years ago as well.. it really makes one feel so vunerable as well as angry!

happened to me a few years ago, they put free monthly check on my accounts.. and ssi number. I can only imagine how upset you are. No one should be able to access your personal information.

You got to love that you can barely get medical information about yourself...or pick up your spouses medicine when they are sick because of HIPPA...yet they can pass around your private information without your consent. Great system.

I so agree Jen. Dianne, I would be more than ticked. It seems like we have to be worried about every card, check, email,ect that we use now and do they help?? NO
I hope you get revenge somehow and I'm sorry this has happened to you.

This has happened to me too. A trust account of mine transferred a huge amount of money out and they were
getting ready to send another huge amount out. The bank only checked with me on the second amount and I
realized that my account was compromised. It took a little while but I did get the money back in my account.
Then we go to file our income taxes online and bam! It rejected cause someone already filed my taxes. What the hey?!
It seems like this is rampant these days and one cannot be too careful.

Good move signing up with a credit monitoring firm. I did the same.
