BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO-AM) North Dakota's Insurance Commissioner says more than 27,000 North Dakotans were directly impacted by the recent data security breach of health insurer Anthem Incorporated.
Commissioner Adam Hamm says he remains ``extremely concerned'' about the security breach of the nation's second-largest health insurer. Anthem services the Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance networks nationwide.
Hamm says information containing individual and dependent names, addresses, social security numbers and birth dates was compromised.
Anthem has said that for two years it will provide credit monitoring, identity theft repair assistance if someone experiences fraud and identity protection designed specifically for children.
Officials say hackers broke into a database storing information for about 80 million people sometime between December 10th and January 27th.
Hamm says Anthem is sending a letter to anyone affected.
