Another minor glitch!
Posted on 02/05/2015 3:20:55 AM PST by Zakeet
Health insurance giant Anthem Inc. said late Wednesday that hackers had breached its computer system and the personal information of tens of millions of customers and employees was possibly at risk.

The data breach extended across all of Anthem's business, possibly affecting customers at large employers, individual policyholders and people enrolled in Medicaid managed-care plans.
Anthem has more than 37 million members in California and 13 other states. But the company warned that it also had information in its database on other Blue Cross Blue Shield patients from all 50 states who had sought care in its coverage area.

OOO! OOO! I know! Lets put everyone into a giant data base! What could go wrong with that???
The more expensive it is the better! Especially if one of your fellow racial tokens is the contractor!
Just waiting for my letter that my SSN has been compromised... I want lifetime credit monitoring and my credit scores free quarterly for life. I’m sick of it... this is my answer to protect myself! I will try to demand it!

Good idea. Very good suggestion.

I will try to demand it! And I want to know where I have supposedly voted too! And while I’m on roll, I want the ability to know EVERYTHING going on with my dearly loved and sadly departed husband’s SSN and any current voting activity as well.
Silly Gizzy,
That will cost you. It will be the rationale for insurance premium increases...or better yet, you will have to buy mandatory insurance to protect your identity in this upside-down world.
Guess who my company went with after the nonaffordable care act destroyed our previous insurance?
This after stating they wouldn’t offer insurance at all.
*snort*
Three for three guys...
I hear ya. I was a BC/BS customer for about 33 years .....do not use them now. Wonder how long they hold your info, so they can lose it?
I had a similar problem w/ my bank info being left on a laptop lost on the metro-north train into Manhattan.
From my personal experience, you do not want to have your identity stolen or compromised. It’s a full time job 24/7 getting things straightened out, and if you are working FT, who has that kind of time?
Even the LifeLocks of this world don’t guarantee that all types of fraud can be fully protected.
You will see more of these data breaches as the 2016 race heats up. The NSA is in the pocket of the DNC and will feed confidential information to them on whomever is the front-runner.
This is Obama’s modus operandi for more than a decade....destroying candidates by releases of personal, “sealed” information.
...ping....
What will be the “straw”. Will SCOTUS rule unfavorably for the ACA? Will congress pass an un-veto-able bill to repeal? Will the “vox populi” speak loudly at the 2016 elections? We will see.
A reasonable person has a right to ask how the (fornicate) this can happen? Haven’t the companies figured it out yet? They don’t seem to care.
Guess it not the 1st time:

Yesterday was my birthday, and I got a text message and an email wishing me a happy birthday from some stranger.
Then this morning I got an email from the CEO of Anthem advising me of the hack.
I got the email as well. Wondering if I should pony up for LifeLock or similar before it’s too late. But even that isn’t a 100% guarantee.
