Lawsuit against Anthem Inc. filed in the wake of a breach affecting nearly 80 million individuals appears to be one step closer to going to trial. A similar class action suit filed against CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield has been dismissed. A judge ruled May 25 that the lawsuit against Anthem should move on to the discovery phase. At the center of the lawsuit is a hacker attack the insurer revealed in early 2015 that exposed the data of about 80 million current and former health plan members. The case against Anthem alleges negligence and claims that the health insurer failed to meet its contractual obligations to protect personal information.”]
