Anthem insurance 'hacked'


The nation's second-largest health insurer, Anthem, is contacting current and former customers after hackers got into its computer network and accessed personal information including Social Security numbers, incomes and street addresses.

Anthem is calling it a "very sophisticated" cyberattack. Anthem recently changed its name from WellPoint.


It runs Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in more than a dozen states.
