Do you have an Anthem health insurance policy? You should be aware that the company suffered a large data breach recently, as hackers gained access to its computer network and stole sensitive information about customers and employees.

The data breach may have affected as many as 80 million Americans, exposing Social Security numbers, income information and street addresses. It should be noted that Anthem runs Blue Cross Blue Shield in dozens of states, covering more than 37 million people. Because of the impact of the breach, the FBI has announced that it is investigating the case and the company has hired a digital security firm to improve its digital network.

If you believe that you may have been affected by the breach, you should monitor your credit reports and setup fraud alerts with a monitoring service. Additionally, if you have evidence of fraud, you can report it to the Federal Trade Commission at 877-438-4338.

Keep in mind, by having access to Social Security numbers, income and street addresses, a person may be able to apply for lines of credit and/or commit other acts of identity theft.

Anthem Class Action Lawsuit Filed

In addition to having your case investigated by an agency, if you have been victimized by the data breach, you should be aware that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Anthem, in an attempt to hold it accountable for exposing the private information of customers.

Our attorneys are dedicated to holding corporations liable for poor data security structures that put people at risk for fraud and identity theft. People have a right to privacy when it comes to their personal information.

It should be noted that Anthem previously had issues with its data storing systems. In 2013, the company paid $1.7 million to the federal government over allegations that it left the information of more than 612,000 members available online because of poor security, according to the Associated Press.

If you are a customer who has been affected by a data breach, Gary S. Graifman, Esq. of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C. represents consumers in class action lawsuits against corporations, manufacturers, businesses and banks that have carelessly endangered the personal information of victims.

Our firm has represented victims in similar data breach cases. Last year, our attorneys filed a lawsuit against Home Depot, which allegedly exposed the identities of up to 56 million cardholders.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
