Anthem Data Breach and Suspicious Voice Mail Alert
1. CareFirst BlueCross Blue Shield statement regarding Anthem data breach: CareFirst has been made aware by Anthem (like CareFirst, a Blue Cross Blue Shield company) of a cyberattack
on Anthem’s information technology system and a resulting data breach. It is unknown at this time
the extent to which the data breach may affect members of other Blue Cross Blue Shield plans.
CareFirst is working with Anthem and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association as the breach is
investigated, and will provide information as warranted about the breach and any impact on CareFirst
members.
Further information about the data breach may be found at www.AnthemFacts.com.
2. Report of suspicious voice mails claiming to be from CareFirst: CareFirst has been informed that some members have received voice messages claiming to be from
CareFirst, and asking the member to call back to a given phone number. That number connects the
member to a company that offers information on vacation packages.
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield is not sponsoring or making these calls and is investigating this matter.
