Modern Healthcare: Anthem agreed to pay $39.5 million to settle an investigation by state attorneys general into the massive 2015 cyber-attack that exposed the personal information of nearly 79 million of the health insurer's members and employees.
The settlement resolves the last open investigation of the breach, in which hackers stole the names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, home addresses and other information of current and former members and workers. Anthem said it does not believe it violated the law regarding data security and did not admit to doing so in the settlement.
