The health insurance company is still trying to determine how many of its current and former customers and employees are impacted, but at this point in the investigation we know that the attackers gained access to names, medical IDs/social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses and employment information. Medical and payment card information doesn’t appear to be affected, Anthem said. Alan Kessler, CEO, Vormetric: “Unfortunately, this attack may very well lead to wide-scale attempts at identity theft later on down the line. Additionally, the acceleration of “dark” markets for stolen personal data (ranging from 25 cents for credit card data and verification code to $500 or more for a full profile with health data) indicates we will likely hear of sales of this information online.”
