SEATTLE, Feb. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising. Keller Rohrback L.L.P. is currently investigating recent reports that Anthem Inc. (the "Company"), the nation's second-largest health insurer, endured a hack that exposed the birthdates, social security numbers, income data, and other personal information of approximately 80 million customers and employees. It may be one of the largest data breaches ever at a major insurance company, as the company and its affiliates cover one in nine Americans.
The Company said all of its product lines, including private individual insurance, group health insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, were affected. Life insurance as well as dental and vision coverage information were also compromised.
"Consumers and employees have a right to trust that their highly confidential and personal information – information that can be used to commit identity theft and fraud – is secure in the hands of an institution that considers accountability and trustworthiness as core company values," said partner Cari Laufenberg, a member of Keller Rohrback's nationally recognized complex litigation group.
If you are one of 80 million people who are concerned that your personal information was breached and would like to know more about your rights, please contact attorneys Cari Laufenberg or Gretchen Cappio at (800) 776-6044 or via email at consumer@kellerrohrback.com.
