Parker Drilling Company Group Health and Flexible Benefit Plan

Parker Wellbore, previously known as Parker Drilling Company, experienced a data breach which was reported on June 16, 2023. The breach involved unauthorized access to sensitive consumer data, including names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued identification numbers, financial account information, credit or debit card numbers, and medical information. The company began sending out data breach notification letters to all individuals whose information was compromised as a result of the security incident[1].

The breach notification was filed with the Attorney General of Texas, and the company took steps to review the affected files to determine the extent of the information compromised. The details of whether the breach involved Parker Wellbore’s own computer network or that of a third-party vendor were not clear at the time of the initial report. Parker Wellbore is a Houston-based company that provides support to utility and oil and gas companies, including the operation and management of rig assets, and employs more than 519 people with an annual revenue of approximately $110 million[1].

Victims of the breach were advised to remain vigilant to protect themselves from potential identity theft or other forms of fraud. They were also informed that they might have the option to pursue a data breach lawsuit if it was found that Parker Wellbore was negligent in managing their personal information[1].

The other search results provided information on various topics, including a medical benefits class action settlement agreement[2], a proposed emergency response standard by OSHA[3], other health plans reporting major breaches[4], a digest on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)[5], information about Expro, an energy services company[6], data breach investigations by a law firm[7], insights and news from Burns & McDonnell, an engineering and construction firm[8], a state data breach browser[9], a report on banks financing the fossil fuel industry[10], a blocked website from the Montana Department of Justice[11], another report on health plans reporting major breaches[12], a Texas state data breach browser[13], a list of cyberattacks in the USA[14], a document on healthcare providers covered by various health plans[15], and a legal case unrelated to the breach[16]. These results do not provide additional relevant information about the Parker Wellbore data breach.
