Has anyone tried to access #carefirst Customer Service by phone or computer in the last few hours? Can't get off hold on phone or receive access codes on both phone or email. Either something is broken or they win the Worst Customer Service award of the day. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

Costco tops quarterly estimates as Americans seek bargains amid inflation Costco Wholesale beat fourth-quarter revenue and profit estimates on Thursday, as Americans hunting for bargains flocked to the membership-only retail chain to snap up lower-priced essentials.

Just a thought... what if insurance companies (hint #CareFirst) kept rates low... think of the benefit to their members and bottom line. A win-win should they follow #Costco's business model. #ACA

Top panel: A character is tied up with ropes and wearing a ghost-like disguise. Text above reads: “NEWSOM’S EXPANSION OF ‘CRIME SUPPRESSION TEAMS’”. Fred is reaching to pull off the mask. Bottom panel: The disguise has been removed, revealing the same character underneath, now labeled with text: “TRUMP’S EFFORTS TO MILITARIZE OUR CITIES”. Fred holds the mask in his hand, exposing the supposed true identity.

In a presser today @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social announced the expansion of California Highway Patrol (CHP) “Crime Suppression Teams.”

He says California is ‘partnering’ with cities while Trump ‘militarizes.’ 🤔

It's two sides of the same coin.

9/10 The new "Care First" system will severely limit when victims can sue.

Only cases involving Criminal Code convictions, impaired driving, or exceptional out-of-pocket costs.

Lawyers estimate this covers less than 1% of current cases.

2/5 Alberta becomes Canada's first province to implement a privately delivered "care-first" model that strips most accident victims of their right to sue. The legal community wasn't consulted, sparking fierce CBA opposition.

Data Breach Exposes Personal Information of Hundreds of Thousands Several cybersecurity incidents have recently come to light, revealing the growing vulnerabilities that organisations face when handling large amounts of personal data. A significant data breach has occurred at Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, which operates under the name Kelly Benefits. In the event of unauthorised access to Kelly Benefits' internal systems, the company confirms that it has compromised the personal information of over 410,000 individuals, which exceeds any earlier estimates that it had. Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. has been causing serious concern in the benefits administration industry for several years now due to an unfortunate development involving data security. Kelly Benefits, the company that operates under the name Kelly Benefits, has reported a major cybersecurity incident that has affected over 413,000 employees nationwide. It is important to note that a Maryland-based company providing payroll processing, benefits administration, and human resources services in December 2024 uncovered unusual activity in its IT systems, which led to a comprehensive internal investigation being initiated immediately. As a result of unauthorised access to the company's network between December 12 and December 17, 2024, cybercriminals were able to exfiltrate sensitive personal data from the company's network for five days between December 12 and December 17, 2024. A detailed forensic analysis completed by Kelly Benefits on March 3, 2025, revealed that the scope of the attack was significantly greater than initially believed. This incident is not only a reminder of the vulnerability within corporate infrastructures but also illustrates the need for enhanced cybersecurity protocols in industries that handle large amounts of private information, such as the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Further investigation into the breach revealed that the cybercriminals were able to exfiltrate highly sensitive personal data during the five-day intrusion. The compromised information includes individuals’ full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, taxpayer identification numbers, health insurance and medical details, as well as financial account information. The scope of the data accessed underscores the seriousness of the breach and its potential long-term impact on those. In response to the events, Kelly Benefits has begun notifying the people impacted, both directly and on behalf of several partner organisations that are also impacted. Amergis, Beam Benefits, Beltway Companies, CareFirst, The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, Intercon Truck of Baltimore, Publishers Circulation Fulfilment, Quantum Real Estate Management, and Transforming Lives are just a few of the companies that have been impacted. Over time, the breach has taken on a significantly larger scope than it started with. On April 9, 2025, the company reported to the Maine Attorney General’s Office that approximately 32,000 people had been affected by the incident, but this number was revised ten days later to more than 260,000 people. Over 413,000 individuals have been confirmed to have been affected by the incident as of the latest notification — a number that will continue to rise as additional reviews take place. Even though Kelly Benefits had finished its internal file review in early March, the full extent of the breach is still unfolding. At this time, it is unclear if the attack involved ransomware, since no known ransomware groups have claimed responsibility for the attack. As the reported figures continue to rise, along with the addition of new client organisations that have been affected, it is becoming increasingly apparent that the breach is both complex and potentially expanding. With an unprecedented rise in data breaches reported on an almost daily basis across a broad range of industries in the year 2025, organisations across industries are experiencing a surge in data breaches. There can be substantial financial losses as a result of such attacks, but it is often the enduring reputational damage that can prove the most detrimental. For some companies, long-term trust losses among clients, partners, and the public can be difficult to recover from, even when the initial fallout has been handled. Although awareness of the issue is on the rise, a troubling pattern of negligence continues to persist. Trend Micro has recently published a report that revealed that 78% of data breaches in the previous quarter were the result of preventable vulnerabilities—the evidence pointing to the fact that many organisations are still failing to implement even the most basic cybersecurity measures. Because artificial intelligence continues to evolve and alter the digital threat landscape, it becomes increasingly difficult to detect cyber threats as they become more sophisticated. The current state of cybersecurity is likely to worsen without a strategic and proactive shift in how businesses approach cybersecurity. Current defences are showing signs of inadequacy, and organisations will have to take meaningful actions to prevent further damage. As the Kelly Benefits incident indicates, cybersecurity is no longer an afterthought within an organisation and can no longer be treated as a secondary function. In today's cybersecurity-driven world, businesses of all sizes and across all industries must prioritise the development of a culture of security that extends beyond regulatory compliance and surface-level safeguards. As a result of this, we should invest in continuous monitoring of our systems, employee training, third-party risk assessments, and robust incident response plans to stay on top of the situation. To maintain public trust in the security sector, it is equally important to have transparency with stakeholders and to communicate with them promptly both during and after security incidents. Nowadays, complacency is no longer an option in the digital era, which supports nearly every aspect of modern business, and in this era of digital infrastructure, it is not possible to ignore the importance of cyber security, both as a technical necessity as well as as a fundamental component of the operation's resilience and ethical responsibility in the long run. In an era when too many reactive measures have been taken, it is now necessary to define the standard in terms of proactive, strategic, and well-resourced defence mechanisms.

I called #Carefirst to get a copy of my insurance card. Agent Lines were long so they said they would call me back.

That was six hours ago. That doesn't seem normal.
