U.S. health insurer Anthem hit by massive cybersecurity breach

By Supriya Kurane and Jim Finkle

(Reuters) – Health insurer Anthem Inc , which has nearly 40 million U.S. customers, said late on Wednesday that hackers had breached one of its IT systems and stolen personal information relating to current and former consumers and employees.

The No. 2 health insurer in the United States said the breach did not appear to involve medical information or financial details such as credit card or bank account numbers.

The information accessed during the “very sophisticated attack” did include names, birthdays, social security numbers, street addresses, email addresses and employment information, including income data, the company said.

The breach “did not appear” — appear — to include your medical information, financial details or credit card or bank account numbers.  Because Obamacare doesn’t require any of these things be collected and shuttled over to medical providers.  Of course not.  Oh, wait.  Except: those are the first things Obamacare requires.  Right.  I trust my government.  Bridge?  Brooklyn?

Thank you ever so kindly, Mr Obama, and US Congress, for passing Obamacare in the middle of the night on a purely 100% partisan — read: Demorat — vote, destroying what was left of the American healthcare system and laying important groundwork for what everyone knew was coming: a series of massive hacks by criminal elements seeking your personal information in order to create chaos and rip off millions.

Anyone with a whit of common sense knows that what can be digitized, can be hacked.  Now, all of your information — and I mean all of it, personal as well as medical– is what Obamacare mandates be placed directly over the internet and into the systems of healthcare organizations all over the nation.

Making it ever so tempting for hackers to steal your life.

DC said: “no way.  Just shut up and take your medicine.”

Hackers said: the greatest target-rich environment ever.

Thanks, Mr Obama.
