The office building of health insurer Anthem is seen in Los Angeles, California (Reuters) - Health insurer Anthem Inc, which earlier this month reported that hackers had breached a patient database, said on Tuesday that between 8.8 million and 18.8 million customers of non-Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans were impacted by the attack. Anthem, the country's second largest health insurer, has found that 78.8 million people in all had their information accessed when hackers broke into its database compared with an initial count of around 80 million, Anthem spokeswoman Kristin Binns said. Other Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in states such as Texas and Florida are run independently.
