    Got an email from Anthem yesterday regarding this. Haven't had health insurance for 2 years. Now I get it (Anthem) and they get hacked. Figures :)

    That is exactly what I think of after every major hacking incident lol. It also helps the CISO's training budget get approved. SANS in Amsterdam this May thanks to Sony, Target, and Home Depot hackers icon_smile.gif

    Don't forget to go to allclear id site and specifically sign up for pro level of service. By default (=not doing anything) you are signed up for a level of service that doesn't do much. For pro level you have to sign up (free if you are affected), that on have insurance and other stuff.
