Purfoods has notified more than 1.2 million people that their personal and medical data \u2014 including payment card and bank account numbers, security codes, and some protected health information \u2014 may have been stolen from its servers during what sounds like a ransomware infection earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Purfoods bills itself as a health-focused food-delivery biz. Its primary program is called Mom’s Meals, which works with more than 500 health providers<\/a> including governments and managed-care organizations in the US to deliver refrigerated meals to people covered under Medicare and Medicaid, as well as individuals who want to buy ready-to-eat entrees.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the company touted its partnership<\/a> with Kaiser Permanente of Southern California on a post-hospital discharge study. The health-care org offered four weeks of Mom’s Meals to nearly 12,000 Medicare patients who had been discharged from 15 Kaiser Permanente hospitals after being treated for heart failure or other acute medical conditions.<\/p>\n
