BlueCross BlueShield hack may have exposed data for 10 million customers
Another week, another major institution falls victim to hackers. This time, it's New York-based heathcare provider Excellus BlueCross BlueShield: the company says that more than 10 million personal records of its customers were exposed to hackers in an attack it discovered this past August. The company discovered the attack early in the month, but after doing more investigation it turned out that it actually took place way back in December of 2013. The investigation showed that the hackers could have accessed personal information including "name, date of birth, Social Security number, mailing address, telephone number, member identification number, financial account information and [insurance] claims information."
