Premera Blue Cross Breach Exposes Financial, Medical Records
Summary: Premera Blue Cross disclosed that an intrusion into its network may have breached the financial and medical records of 11 million customers, with the company learning of the attack on January 29, 2015 and tracing the initial compromise to May 5, 2014. The exposed data could include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, member identification numbers, bank account information, and claims information including clinical data, and Premera is working with Mandiant and the FBI while offering two years of free credit monitoring through Experian.
What you should know: ThreatConnect tied a look-alike domain, prennera.com, to the same actors and character-replacement technique seen in the we11point.com infrastructure linked to the Anthem breach that affected some 78 million Americans - so the same playbook now spans two major health insurers and roughly 89 million records.
