Scammers Begin Phishing Anthem Plan Members

Anthem Inc. members said they’re stuck in helpless resignation after a corporate cyber-attack, waiting for news on whether their data was compromised even as scammers began seeking to exploit them with phishing and phone calls.

Anthem, the second-biggest U.S. health insurer by market value, said it will probably take about two weeks to figure out how many of its 80 million current and former customers and employees had information like Social Security numbers and insurance IDs exposed by hackers, and to start notifying them.
