Millions of Records Compromised After Anthem Data Breach
Health insurer Anthem Inc. reported late Wednesday that hackers had breached one of its IT systems and stolen personal information relating to current and former consumers and employees.
Anthem, which is the number-two health insurer in the U.S. with 37.5 million U.S. customers, said that the breach did not appear to involve medical information or financial details such as credit card or bank account information, but the “very sophisticated attack” included access to names, birthdays, Social Security numbers, street addresses, email addresses and employment information, including income data.
