The Delaware Department of Insurance announced it received a notice of a data security breach suffered by Dominion National, an insurer and administrator of dental and vision benefits. On April 24, 2019, through its investigation of an internal alert, Dominion National discovered that servers containing enrollment data, demographic details, personal information of consumers, plan producers and health care providers may have been accessed by an unauthorized party.

The investigation determined that the unauthorized access may have occurred as early as Aug. 25, 2010. Dominion National advised the Department of Insurance that they responded immediately by cleaning the affected servers and initiating a comprehensive review of data stored on or potentially accessible from the servers.
