LOS ANGELES, Calif. (WSLS 10) - A law firm announced Wednesday the filing of a class action lawsuit against the nation's second-largest health insurer, Anthem Inc., after the private information of 80 million Anthem customers was stolen in an online data breach.
The law firm, Weitz & Luxenberg, P.C., said in a release about the lawsuit that over a six-week span beginning in mid-December, hackers took information from Anthem's computers containing customer personal information, including names, birthdates, Social Security numbers, employment records and income data.
The firm said security experts believe devastating financial losses may come for Anthem customers as identity thieves use the information to access items like checking and savings accounts, tax refunds, and apply for credit cards, mortgages and bank loans in their victims' names.
Individuals who now are or once were holders of one of these brands' policies are urged to contact Weitz & Luxenberg for information about how to participate in the class action lawsuit against Anthem.
