Hello Everyone,
Does anyone have any more detail about what kind of system Anthem / Blue
Cross was running and what kind of attack broke into their system?
It's terrible that it happened, but I think it would benefit all Admins
everywhere to learn how it happened so that we can secure our systems
from a similar breach of information.
Anyone know?
Chris

I recommend reading up on kreb's site:
http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/02/china-to-blame-in-anthem-hack/
Not sure the "hack" was an issue with their platforms per se.
"
“On January 27, 2015, an Anthem associate, a database administrator,
discovered suspicious activity – a database query running using the
associate’s logon information. He had not initiated the query and
immediately stopped the query and alerted Anthem’s Information Security
department. It was also discovered the logon information for additional
database administrators had been compromised.
”
SANS is a good resource as well.
I'm no security expert by any means, so ymmv.
Regards,
Monty
