Just an FYI for anyone who has Anthem, they were hacked and insruance data of 80 million people was exposed. We use Anthem at work and here's some of the response we got this morning: The data exposed includes names, dates of birth, member health ID numbers/Social Security numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses and employment information including income data. Evidence indicates that the data was uploaded to an external file sharing service. This file sharing service, at Anthem’s request, has locked down the account and data so that it cannot be copied, accessed or removed. Anthem and the FBI are working with the file sharing service to access the data and further secure it. We continue working to identify the members who are impacted. We expect the mailing of letters to begin in the next two weeks.
Give up the illusion you actually have any privacy anymore and you'll have less to worry about... (I say, based on working 25+ yrs in/around IT) ~Bill
I work in IT for a fortune 500 company, I know all too well how important security is. After seeing Target, Home Depot, Anthem, and others being hacked and releasing customer/employee data our information security initiatives have become a major focus.
Yup, both myself and fiance have anthem of course. Which is great because we're also looking to buy a house.
