The pharmacy benefits manager says a small number of its clients have received letters threatening to expose the personal info of its members, and the threats are believed to be connected to an extortion threat disclosed last week.
The letters, which were received by Express Scripts clients in the past few days, are similar in form to the one the PBM received last month from “an unknown person or persons” threatening to publicly expose records of millions of its members if an extortion threat was not met. That original letter included the personal data of 75 Express Scripts members (back story).
The PBM informed the FBI about the new threats and is establishing a reward totaling $1 million to anyone who provides info leading to the arrest - and conviction of the culprit or culprits (here is the statement).
