Insurance applications containing 470,000 Social Security numbers were exposed on the web

This incident was not limited to just persons with pending applications. I received a letter from Anthem stating that my data may have been compromised in this incident. However, my application was far from "pending" - it had been rejected on 3/16/2009. Obviously, they are storing data that they could have purged. 2010-07-09 13:34:13 UTC There are plenty of articles about this "Incident", but I haven't seen anything on what we are supposed to do about it. Mine was one that was stolen and someone tried to use my credit card - twice! So I had to cancel the credit card. Then I got a notice from BC/BS saying they were going to cancel my insurance due to non payment because my credit card was no good!!! 2010-07-23 21:22:26 UTC My information was among the information that was stolen. My application was rejected as well. They send a letter saying their sorry for any inconvenience. Really? Here's a thought - be a little more careful with other peoples information and if an application has been rejected then lose that information. Idiots. 2011-02-14 16:12:37 UTC
