Bupa, the international healthcare group with a presence in 190 countries, has been stung by a data breach, after an employee inappropriately copied and removed information from one of the company’s systems.
The data includes the names, dates of birth and nationality of customers, as well as some contact and administrative information such as membership numbers.
In a video posted online, Shelton Kenton, the managing director of Bupa Global, the company’s health insurance division, said that the information does not include any financial or medical data.
“The data comes from one particular part of Bupa, Bupa Global which handles international health insurance, mainly for people who work overseas or travel on a regular basis. To be clear this does not affect Bupa’s other businesses such as Bupa Australia, Bupa Chile and Bupa UK,” he said.
The data breach does not affect customers with domestic health insurance.
