The Helper Bees Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Personal and Health Information The Helper Bees Inc., an Austin, Texas-based insurtech company specializing in aging-in-place services, recently disclosed a data breach that compromised sensitive personal, financial, and health information. Founded in 2015, the company partners with major insurance carriers to provide non-medical in-home care services, including meal delivery, transportation, and home modifications, while its subsidiary, Dimensions Inc., supports New York Life’s long-term care insurance claims.

In response, The Helper Bees is offering 18 months of complimentary credit monitoring to affected individuals, with enrollment available via phone or email.
