JUNIPER ROSE — THE TIMES-STANDARD PERFUME » PAGE 5 WEATHER FLOODS PREDICTED FOR THE EEL RIVER CYBERSECURITY Health care is a trove for hackers By Tom Murphy and Brandon Bailey The Associated Press PHOTOS BY SHAUN WALKER — THE TIMES-STANDARD Walkers and workers were at least somewhat prepared for the moderate rain near the Arcata Plaza. Emergency shelter alert active By Juniper Rose [email protected] @juniperjrose on Twitter After two days of heavy rains, the region’s rivers are expected to peak Friday night and into Saturday morning, with the Eel River at Fern Bridge predicted to rise into moderate flood stage and several other rivers reaching monitor stages. There is currently a flood watch in place and the National Weather Service is still analyzing whether or not a warning — which signals the need to prepare for a threat to property and life — will be needed, National Weather Service meteorologist Kathleen Lewis said. Moderate flood stages on the Eel River at Fern Bridge mean the river has risen beyond 22 feet. “Once the water reaches 22 feet, the western half of the Eel River delta, areas northwest of Loleta and even the western portion a Cannibal Island Road can see flooding,” Lewis said. The Mad River in Arcata is expected to reach monitor stages, she said. As of Thursday afternoon the National Weather Service office in Eureka had received about four-tenths of an inch of rain, Lewis said. Other parts of the North Coast had already received more than an inch and in a few areas — such as the Kings Range — more than two inches. “Total amounts are looking pretty similar to what we have been expecting, maybe regionwide seven to 10 inches, and then four to seven along the coastal zone,” Lewis said.

B6 Health care is a treasure trove for criminals looking to steal reams of personal information, as the hacking of a database maintained by the second-largest U.S. health insurer proves. The latest breach at health insurer Anthem Inc. follows a year in which more than 10 million people were affected by health care data breaches — including hacking or accidents that exposed personal information, such as lost laptops — according to a government database that tracks incidents affecting at least 500 people. The numbers, compiled by the Department of Health and Human Services, show that last year was the worst for health care hacking since 2011, when more than 11 million people were affected. Health care hacking is becoming more of a focus as retailers and other businesses have clamped down on security after massive breaches at companies like Target and Home Depot. That has made it more difficult for cyber thieves to infiltrate their systems. As a result, they’ve turned their attention toward health care. Experts say health care companies can provide many entry points into their systems for crooks to steal data. And once criminals get that information, they can pull off far more extensive and lucrative schemes. “If someone steals your credit card and home address, they might be able to buy something, but you can usually get that locked down quickly,” said Tony Anscombe, a security expert with the cybersecurity firm AVG Technologies. “With medical records and a social security number, it’s not so simple.” Anthem said late Wednesday that hackers broke into a database storing information on 80 million people in an attack the company discovered last week. The Blue Cross Blue Shield insurer said the hackers gained access to names, birthdates, email address, employment details, Social Security numbers, incomes and street addresses of people who are currently covered or have had coverage in the past.
