Anthem, one of the nation’s largest health insurance companies, said Wednesday that its “state-of-the-art information security systems” was the “target of a very sophisticated external cyber attack” last week that resulted in hackers gaining access to the personal information of approximately 80 million individuals.
“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,” Anthem president and CEO Joseph Swedish said in a statement posted online.
