Anthem Blue Cross breach notification [pdf]
> What are we doing?> We:> • Looked into what caused this issue.> • Are taking steps to reduce the risk of this happening again.> • Temporarily shut down the portal accountSo, 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?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.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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthem_medical_data_breachIn 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.
