Investigators link insurer cyber breach to foreign nation
(AP) — A foreign government was likely behind a cyber breach of health insurance company Anthem Inc. that compromised more than 78 million consumers' records, investigators said Friday.
The California Department of Insurance said Anthem — the nation's second-largest health insurer — has agreed to make $260 million in improvements to its information security systems.
The hackers accessed Social Security numbers, birthdates and employment details for customers — all key ingredients for stealing someone's identity.
