Horizon Actuarial Services, LLC

Horizon Actuarial Services, LLC is a national actuarial and consulting firm that provides services to over 150 multiemployer benefit plans, such as pension and health and welfare funds. Their primary customers are the trustees and administrators of these plans, for whom they analyze data to ensure the long-term financial health of the benefits provided to members. The firm handles highly sensitive personal and health information on behalf of these benefit plans. In 2021, the company experienced a significant data breach where criminals accessed servers containing the names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and health plan information of plan participants. This incident highlights the serious risk of identity theft and fraud that individuals face when their sensitive data is compromised. Due to the nature of their business, individuals cannot simply opt-out as their data is provided by their benefit plans; however, it is crucial for those affected by breaches to monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for suspicious activity.
