The student health insurance carrier guard.me has taken their website offline after a vulnerability allowed a threat actor to access policyholders’ personal information. The website is one of the largest insurance providers specializing in providing health insurance to students while traveling or studying abroad in another country. The website Guard.me was taken down after suspicious activities found on the website and visitors are automatically diverted to the maintenance page.
