Anthem data hack. Health insurer Anthem, which earlier this month reported that it was hit by a massive cyberbreach, said on Tuesday that 8.8 million to 18.8 million people who were not its customers could be victims in the attack.Anthem, the country's second-largest health insurer, is part of a national network of independently run Blue Cross Blue Shield plans through which BCBS customers can receive medical services when they are in an area where BCBS is operated by a different company.
It is those Blue Cross Blue Shield customers who were potentially affected because their records may be included in the database that was hacked, the company said. It is the first time that Anthem has quantified the impact of the breach on members of health insurance plans that it does not operate. Anthem updated the total number of records accessed in the database to 78.8 million customers from its initial estimate of 80 million, which includes 14 million incomplete records that it found.
