When it comes to data breaches, you don’t even have to know a company’s name to get wrapped up in the fallout. Case in point: Navia Benefit Solutions is currently informing almost 2.7 million individuals in the U.S. that their personal info could now be in the hands of hackers.

As reported by Bleeping Computer, the benefits administrator provides software and services to over 10,000 companies across the U.S. to help manage Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Savings Accounts (HSA), COBRA services, and more. Since Navia acts as a backend provider for these employers, there’s a high probability you could receive a data breach notification letter in the mail even if you've never heard of the company before.
