AP reports:
A health insurer in western New York and affiliates said Wednesday that their computers were targeted last month in a cyberattack that may have provided unauthorized access to more than 10 million personal records.
Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, headquartered in Rochester, and Lifetime Healthcare Companies said they’re offering affected individuals in upstate New York two years of free identity theft protection.
The companies said unauthorized computer access was discovered Aug. 5, and further investigation revealed that the initial attack occurred on Dec. 23, 2013.
