China has rejected accusations it was behind an attack that stole data from health insurer Anthem.

 

Investigators looking into the breach told US newspapers the methods used in it resembled earlier attacks blamed on China.

 

Investigators looking into the breach told Boomberg  that early indications suggest China was behind it. 

They said the attack had the "fingerprints" of a nation-state and some of the techniques used were seen in earlier attacks that had been blamed on China.

 

Today,

senior staff from Anthem are scheduled to tell the Energy and Commerce Committee of the US House of Representatives about the hack attack and how it is being handled.
