Details: The WellPoint / Anthem Blue Cross security settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, known as the Blue Cross of California Website Security Cases, that accuses the company of being aware that its customers’ health applications and information were potentially publicly accessible online.
The Anthem Blue Cross website security class action lawsuit was filed after it was discovered that the personal information of over 600,000 customers, enrollees and subscribers was stored on some of WellPoint / Anthem Blue Cross’s web-based servers from approximately October 23, 2009 to March 10, 2010 without username, password and encryption protection. This information included Social Security numbers, home and office addresses, telephone numbers, credit card numbers and financial information used for premium payments, personal health information, and other information people may have provided on their health insurance applications to WellPoint / Anthem Blue Cross.
Class Members of the Anthem Blue Cross security class action settlement include everyone in the U.S. whose private information was stored on WellPoint / Anthem Blue Cross’s affected servers from August 15, 2008 through March 10, 2010, or who received a notification letter from WellPoint / Anthem Blue Cross regarding the alleged failure of the company to secure their confidential personal and private information.
The WellPoint / Anthem Blue Cross class action settlement provides a number of benefits to Class Members, depending on whether you were sent a letter from WellPoint / Anthem Blue Cross and whether or not you accepted their offer of one year of credit monitoring. However, all Class Members are eligible to receive one year of free credit monitoring and reimbursement for identity theft losses of up to $50,000 for each identity theft incident or reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses such as check printing, credit monitoring, telephone calls and postage, among others. A detailed breakdown of what the class action lawsuit settlement provides, depending on your individual situation, can be found at the Settlement Administrator’s website: www.AnthemBlueCrossSecuritySettlement.com.
