It will be interesting to see once they reveal the locations of who made the hack.

It’s a sorry state of affairs in this nation when the first thing I think of is “false flag”...

4 years ago Columbia Presbyterian settled with HHS for $4.8m following the release of 6600 records under HIPAA. At $705/case, this would mean $56.4T fine for this HIPAA violation.

CyberSecurity is a great field to go into. There is an enormous need for it, the need will only grow, and on the whole, neither government nor business has a really good handle on it. Such a huge hole that needs to be filled.

And it's somewhat unlikely that the security work will be off-shored to China or anywhere else.

Most of the time somebody bribes an employee for a password. Not really high tech at all.

Why do all our activities in life revolve around a number that is held by multiple third parties that are linked to our financial accounts?

80 million people? That’s almost one out of every four Americans, nationwide. And with 0bamacare’s level of cybersecurity, why even bother?

Nothing is secure. Nothing will ever be secure.

There’s no reason in the world for them to have had former members vulnerable to an online hack.

Anthem employee “Wait, I wasn’t expecting a UPS shipment. I better click on this and find out what is going on”.

It's nearly certain they were breached via healthcare.gov.

All providers are required to expose their internal systems to that unsecure data brokerage. And, all data must be in the same format and structure.

Hackers Paradise.

It'll be interesting if anyone comes clean on it.

You should consider anything put in digital form being made public. Between criminal hacking and corrupt bureaucracies, it will be made so eventually anyway.

These attackers gained unauthorized access to Anthem’s IT system and have obtained personal information from our current - and former members - such as their names, birthdays, medical IDs/social security numbers, street addresses, email addresses and employment information, including income data.

Thanks, WH.

This is my health insurance through work. If some 20-someting hip hop black dude in shades shows up to apply for a credit card, claiming to be BigEdLB, he’s not...
