A Florida-based web hosting company and its manager agreed to pay $293,771 in the latest Department of Justice (DOJ) case holding government contractors accountable for poor cybersecurity practices.
Jelly Bean Communications Design was contracted to design a website for the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation (FHKC), which offered health and dental insurance for Florida children ages five through 18. Jelly Bean knowingly left the website vulnerable to attack through running outdated software, the DOJ alleged in a press release Tuesday.
Jelly Bean created, hosted, and maintained the website HealthyKids.org for the FHKC from 2013-20. During that time, the company was required to ensure the website’s cybersecurity controls complied with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
