Anthem Healthcare agreed to settle a series of lawsuits related to the company’s 2015 data breach. The settlement includes a payment of $115 million and three years of additional security protections. Most of the money will be allotted to an additional two years of credit monitoring and identity protection services. Class members who claim out-of-pocket costs may receive compensation of $36 to $50. The Anthem attack was reported in February 2015 and leaked customers’ income data and Social Security numbers. A report by the California Department of Insurance found “with a significant degree of confidence” that a foreign government was behind the attack.”]
