Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III announced today that Tennessee, as part of a coalition of 41 state attorneys general, has settled with Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, a debt collection agency doing business as American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA). The settlement resolves a multistate investigation into a 2019 data breach that exposed the personal information of more than seven million individuals, including 132,451 Tennesseans. Under the settlement AMCA promises to implement an information security program with detailed requirements and an incident response plan, hire a duly qualified chief information security officer, hire a third-party assessor to perform an information security assessment, and cooperate with the state attorneys general with investigations related to the data breach.
