06. January 2017 Health 0

The hacker who targeted Anthem in early 2015, exposing more than 78 million customer records in one of the largest healthcare breaches ever, was acting on behalf of a foreign government, investigators from the the California Department of Insurance say.
Anthem is currently spending more than $260 million dollars for security improvements and remedial actions in response to this breach, the department said in releasing the examination findings and settlement agreement Friday.
