TDI Provides Notice of Data Security Event
On March 24, 2022, TDI issued a press release notifying stakeholders of a data security event. Specifically, on January 4, 2022 TDI became aware of a security issue with a TDI web application that manages workers compensation information.
TDI advised that they immediately took the application off-line, quickly fixed the issue, and started an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the event. The types of information that may have been accessible, according to this press release, includes names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, parts or all of Social Security numbers, and information about injuries and workers compensation claims.
TDI worked with a forensics company to search the web for evidence of misuse of the information, and reported that no evidence had been found as of March 24th. TDI did intend to send letters to people who had a new workers’ compensation claim between March 2019 and January 2022 and who may have been affected by the event. Those letters would include instructions for enrolling in credit monitoring services at no cost to them.
People who do not receive this letter but have had a workers’ compensation claim since 2006 may still qualify for credit monitoring, according to TDI. People can find out if their workers’ compensation claim may have been affected by calling 855-248-7100, 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. Central time, seven days a week, except U.S. holidays.
Finally, in addition to working with the forensics company to investigate the nature and scope of the event, providing credit monitoring and identity protection services to those who may been affected, and providing the dedicated helpline, TDI reports they are reviewing and enhancing policies, procedures and security efforts.
