Jim Harper tells calwatchdog:
“The hacker attack should not seriously affect Anthem members […]
“He said that even if hackers obtain Social Security numbers, “it actually isn’t that serious….”

REALLY!
What kind of wacky **** is that!???

Jim Harper is living in some alternate universe, apparently.

It should be ILLEGAL for them to require this information. Social Security numbers were meant for Social Security payments — PERIOD!

Their business license must be revoked. 80 Million individuals are now going to live in perpetual fear from cyber criminals.
