Security Insurer Breach Exposes 80 Million Accounts

The recent hacks and data breaches on large corporations like Sony, Target, Home Depot and many others should be a red flag to organizations to beef up security and encryption of sensitive customer information. As you probably already know, cybersecurity is at a premium in the tech world these days. Apparently, Health Insurer Anthem didn’t get the memo.

According to ABC News:

“Anthem Inc., the second largest U.S. health insurer, said Wednesday that its computers were hacked and data on as many as 80 million customers and employees may have been exposed. Anthem said once it discovered the attack, it immediately made every effort to close the security vulnerability, contacted the FBI and began fully cooperating with their investigation.”
