Η αμερικάνικη ασφαλιστική εταιρεία υγείας Premera Blue Cross, παραδέχτηκε ότι τα συστήματά της έχουν παραβιαστεί και ότι οι hackers κατάφεραν να αποκτήσουν στοιχεία από 11 εκατομμύρια πελάτες της. Είναι η δεύτερη επίθεση σε ιατρική ασφαλιστική εταιρεία που πραγματοποιήθηκε στις USA this year, right after her hack Anthem last month.
Premera said her customer names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, date of birth, social security numbers, medical information, and bank account details may have leaked from an attack in May of 2014.
However, the company's investigations have not shown that any of this data has been downloaded from their facilities or misused to date. According to Premera, they are currently looking into the issue further with the cooperation of the security company MANDIANT, as well as the FBI.
Premera discovered the breach on January 29, shortly before the Anthem hack they leaked approximately 80 million member and employee accounts along with their personal information. This particular hack was one of the biggest in history.
Attackers are affected by the attack Premera Blue Cross, Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield Alaska, and its affiliates Vivacity and Connexion Insurance Solutions as reported by TNW.
There is no official announcement on the part of the hackers, so it is not yet known who or who hacked. Journalist and security researcher Brian Krebs, however, said he is most likely to be behind the hack Chinese state group hacking known as "Deep Panda."
