Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield warns of “phishing” scam

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield warns of “phishing” scam

As mentioned in yesterday's e-mail, the State Personnel Department is in constant contact with Anthem to provide updated information to employees on the information breach. 

This afternoon, Anthem sent a news release to the State Personnel Department about "phishing" scams that have surfaced. These emails are designed to appear as if they are from Anthem and include a “click here” link for credit monitoring. The emails are NOT from Anthem. Also, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Indiana is not calling members regarding the cyber-attack and is not asking for credit card information or social security numbers over the phone. 

If you have further questions, please feel free to visit www.AnthemFacts.com or call Anthem at 1-877-263-7995.

All impacted members will receive notice via mail in the coming weeks which will advise them of the protections being offered as well as any next steps.
