gebraset Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield has officially announced that roughly 1.1 million current and former CareFirst members and individuals who do business with the health insurer online are affected by a recently found security breach. The cyberattack on CareFirst that affects the 1.1 million individuals occurred in June 2014, in which attackers successfully gained limited access to a single database that contained usernames, names, birth dates, email addresses, and subscriber identification numbers. Fortunately, no account passwords were compromised as a result of the security breach, and the database that was accessed contained no Social Security numbers, medical claims, employment, credit card, or financial information. Chet Burrell, the CareFirst President and CEO, publically stated that the company regrets any concern that customers now face due to the attack, and that all affected customers will be provided with two years of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection.
