What Happened at SysInformation Healthcare Services?
On April 17, 2024, SysInformationLLC d/b/a EqualizeRCM and 1st Credentialing filed a notice of data breach with the Attorney General of Montana after discovering a data security incident in which an unauthorized party accessed consumers’ sensitive information.

- Student identification number
- Employee identification number
- Tax identification number

After an initial investigation, SysInformation started sending out data breach notification letters to individuals whose information may have been affected by the data security incident. If you received a data breach notification from SysInformation Healthcare Services, 1st Credentialing or EqualizeRCM, you should understand what is at risk and what you can do to prevent fraud and identity theft in the future.
The data breach was only recently announced, and there are some unknowns surrounding the incident. According to the company website and other sources, SysInformation detected unusual activity within its computer network in June 2023. At the time, an investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party was able to gain access to its network between June 3, 2023 and June 18, 2023. The unauthorized party may have removed files containing a wide range of personal data. It is unclear why the company waited so long to inform consumers of the potential data theft, but eventually on April 17, 2024, SysInformation Healthcare Services began sending out data breach letters to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident.
