Anthem Blue Cross breach notification [pdf]
> What are we doing?<p>> We:<p>> • Looked into what caused this issue.<p>> • Are taking steps to reduce the risk of this happening again.<p>> • Temporarily shut down the portal account<p>So, they cheap out on security, cause MY PII to be leaked (enough for identity theft) and all they do is shut my own access out?<p>No details on "Are taking steps to reduce the risk of this happening again" because I bet all they did was shut off this one hole rather than revamp their security.<p>For the record, this isn't even the first Anthem BC breach: In 2015, they had a breach so large that it has its own Wikipedia page. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_medical_data_breach" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_medical_data_breach</a><p>In 2020, Anthem had net income of $4.57 billion. If they are fined at/settled for the same level as the 2015 breach (~$150M), then their incentive is to continue playing fast and loose with data rather than invest in sane security.
