Data breach consumer aert!

A national insurance company that writes coverage in South Carolina experienced a cyber-security attack in which the personal information of policyholders—including names, birthdays, addresses and other personally-identifiable information—has been exposed. Anthem Insurance offers insurance services through the following three companies: Anthem Life Insurance Company, Unicare Life and Health Insurance Company and Greater Georgia Life Insurance Company. South Carolina consumers who think they may be affected should look for communications from Anthem and should also monitor their accounts, credit score, bank, credit card and other financial information. Anthem’s toll-free number is 1-877/263-7995. Consumers may also contact the South Carolina Department of Insurance Office of Consumer Affairs at 1-800/768-3467. Additional information will be posted on the department’s website www.doi.sc.gov as it becomes available.
