February 6, 2025 – VectraRx Mail Pharmacy Services LLC (“VRMP”) is providing notice of a data event that may affect the privacy of certain individuals’ information. VRMP takes this data event very seriously and is providing information about the data event, our response to it, and resources available to individuals to help protect their information, should they feel it appropriate to do so.
What Happened? On or about December 13, 2024, VRMP became aware of unusual activity on a server operated by VRMP. Upon discovery of this data event, VRMP promptly began an investigation and engaged a specialized third-party cybersecurity firm to conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine the nature and scope of the data event.
Per that investigation, VRMP determined that an unauthorized actor(s) may have viewed and copied certain data stored by VRMP. VRMP then conducted a comprehensive review of the potentially impacted data to identify potentially impacted individuals. This review was completed on January 7, 2025.
What Information Was Involved? While we have no evidence that any information has been misused, we are notifying potentially impacted individuals and providing information and resources to help protect their personal information. The following types of information may have been impacted: Date of Birth, Rx Number, Rx Information, Date of Service, and/or Social Security Number.
What We Are Doing. VRMP is committed to ensuring the security and privacy of all personal information in its control. Upon discovery of the Event, VRMP moved quickly to investigate and respond to the Event. Specifically, VRMP informed its law firm and began identifying the affected individuals in preparation for notice.
VRMP offered 12 to 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft restoration services through Identity Defense to all individuals to help protect their identity. Additionally, VRMP provided guidance on how to better protect against identity theft and fraud, including providing information on how to place a fraud alert and security freeze on one’s credit file, the contact details for the national consumer reporting agencies, information on how to obtain a free credit report, a reminder to remain vigilant for incidents of fraud and identity theft by reviewing account statements and monitoring free credit reports, and the contact details for the Federal Trade Commission.

What You Can Do. We encourage individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing your account statements, explanation of benefits forms, and monitoring your free credit reports for suspicious activity and to detect errors. Under U.S. law individuals are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus. To order a free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. Individuals may also contact the three major credit bureaus directly to request a free copy of their credit report, place a fraud alert, or a security freeze. Contact information for the credit bureaus is below.
Consumers have the right to place an initial or extended “fraud alert” on a credit file at no cost. An initial fraud alert is a 1-year alert that is placed on a consumer’s credit file. Upon seeing a fraud alert display on a consumer’s credit file, a business is required to take steps to verify the consumer’s identity before extending new credit. If you are a victim of identity theft, you are entitled to an extended fraud alert, which is a fraud alert lasting seven years. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, please contact any one of the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below.
As an alternative to a fraud alert, consumers have the right to place a “credit freeze” on a credit report, which will prohibit a credit bureau from releasing information in the credit report without the consumer’s express authorization. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved in your name without your consent. However, you should be aware that using a credit freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving the extension of credit. Pursuant to federal law, you cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on your credit report. To request a security freeze, you may need to provide the following information, depending on whether the request is made online, by phone, or by mail:
- Full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.);
- Social Security number;
- Date of birth;
- Addresses for the prior two to five years;
- Proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill;
- A legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver’s license or ID card, etc.); and
- A copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if you are a victim of identity theft.
