breach of anthem inc the anthem medical data breach was a medical data breach of information held by elevance health known at that time as anthem inc on february 4 2015 anthem inc disclosed that criminal hackers had broken into its servers and had potentially stolen over 37 5 million records that contain personally identifiable information from its servers 1 on february 24 2015 anthem raised the number to 78 8 million people whose personal information had been affected 2 according to anthem inc the data breach extended into multiple brands anthem inc uses to market its healthcare plans including anthem blue cross anthem blue cross and blue shield blue cross and blue shield of georgia empire blue cross and blue shield amerigroup caremore and unicare 3 healthlink says that it was also a victim 4 anthem says users medical information and financial data were not compromised anthem has offered free credit monitoring in the wake of the breach 5 michael daniel chief adviser on cybersecurity for president barack obama said he would be changing his own password 6 according to the new york times about 80 million company records were hacked and there is a fear that the stolen data will be used for identity theft 7 the compromised information contained names birthdays medical ids social security numbers street addresses e mail addresses and employment information including income data 8 9 theft of the data edit the data was stolen over a period of weeks the month before the data breach was discovered 10 because no medical information was compromised anthem was not required by law to encrypt the data 11 however anthem faced several civil class action lawsuits which were settled in 2017 at a cost of 115 million anthem did not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement 12 data from the attack is expected to be sold on the black market 13 impact edit persons whose data was stolen could have resulting problems about identity theft for the rest of their lives 14 anthem had a us 100 million insurance policy for cyber problems from american international group 15 one report suggested that all of this money could be consumed by the process of notifying customers of the breach 15 responses edit anthem hired mandiant a cybersecurity firm to review their security systems and advised people whose data was stolen to monitor their accounts and remain vigilant 16 17 the theft of the data raised fears generally about the theft of medical information 18 19 a writer from harvard law school suggested that this data breach might spark reform of security practices and government data safety regulation 20 an investigation conducted by several state insurance commissioners blames the breach on an attacker whose identity was withheld and claims that the breach was likely ordered by a foreign government whose name was withheld 21 it also concluded that anthem had taken reasonable measures to protect its data before the breach and that its remediation plan was effective at shutting down the breach once it was discovered 21 it also marks the starting date of the breach as february 18 2014 21 the lead investigator was the indiana department of insurance doi anthem s principal regulator because anthem is headquartered in indiana 22 the indiana doi hired independent auditors to conduct a security assessment at anthem which concluded while deficiencies within anthem s cybersecurity posture were noted by the examination team these deficiencies were not in our experience uncommon to companies comparable to anthem in size and scope while the pre breach deficiencies impacted anthem s ability to reduce the likelihood of and quickly detect the data breach the controls implemented subsequent to the data breach should improve anthem s ability to detect future breaches and enable anthem to respond more effectively to a future attack than was the case in this instance 22 federal regulators also conducted an investigation of the anthem data breach resulting in a 16 million settlement between anthem and the department of health and human services hhs by far the largest hhs data breach settlement 23 an hhs director overseeing the investigation said the largest health data breach in u s history fully merits the largest hipaa settlement in history unfortunately anthem failed to implement appropriate measures for detecting hackers who had gained access to their system to harvest passwords and steal people s private information 23 the hhs settlement also required anthem to perform a risk assessment and correct any identified deficiencies in its cybersecurity with hhs oversight of anthem s progress 23 approximately 100 private class action lawsuits were filed against anthem over the data breach and consolidated in california federal court in front of judge koh a respected authority in data breach litigation 24 after contested briefing over who should lead the litigation efforts judge koh appoints eve cervantez of altshuler berzon and andy friedman of cohen milstein as co lead counsel and appointed eric gibbs of gibbs law group and michael sobel of lieff cabraser to head a plaintiffs steering committee 25 in 2017 anthem agreed to settle the litigation for 115 million the largest ever data breach settlement at the time 26 the attorneys requested 38 million in fees for their work on the case but judge koh slashed the fee request finding that only 31 million in fees were merited 27 references edit riley charles 4 february 2015 insurance giant anthem hit by massive data breach cnn money
