On July 5, 2011, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced a settlement with health insurer WellPoint, Inc. The settlement resolves allegations that the company failed to promptly notify the Attorney General’s office of a data breach as is required by the Indiana Disclosure of Security Breach Act. As part of the settlement, WellPoint will pay a fine of $100,000 and provide certain identity-theft-prevention assistance to consumers affected by the breach. Interestingly, the settlement includes an admission by WellPoint that the company failed to comply with the law by not notifying Zoeller’s office “without unreasonable delay.”
