UPREHS Monitors Anthem Cyber Attack

Anthem, one of the nation’s largest health insurance companies, reported yesterday that it was the victim of an external cyber attack, in which hackers obtained personal information from current and former members, including names, birthdays, medical IDs, addresses and phone numbers.

Anthem provides a network of physicians, specialists, and medical facilities for Union Pacific Railroad Employes Health Systems (UPREHS). UPREHS administers health benefits for some agreement employees. UPREHS has indicated that, based on current information, there is no evidence that UPREHS members’ credit card or medical information was compromised in this attack. In addition, UPREHS does not provide social security numbers to Anthem. UPREHS will continue to monitor the situation.

Anthem will notify by letter current and former members whose information has been compromised, and has stated they will offer free credit monitoring and identity protection services. Employees are reminded to be diligent about personal information shared with others.

Visit UPREHS for updates.
