Congressman Himes Help on Anthem’s Hack

One of Connecticut’s largest health insurers, Anthem, announced last week that the company’s computer systems were hacked in a major data breach that could affect as many as 80 million people nationwide. Anthem immediately contacted the FBI to launch an ongoing investigation. I share your frustration and concern with this terrible violation of privacy, which could impact Anthem’s 1.2 million customers in Connecticut.

 

Information stolen in the breach included data about current and former customers: names, birthdays, medical IDs, Social Security numbers, street addresses, e-mail address, employment information and some income data. At this time, it does not appear that any credit card or medical records have been compromised.

 

If you see any suspicious activity on your credit report or other financial accounts, please contact law enforcement immediately. The information can also be reported to the Connecticut Attorney General’s Privacy Task Force by calling 860-808-5318, or emailing attorney.general@ct.gov.

GOV. MALLOY INTRODUCES LEGISLATION PROTECTING VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

#HARTFORD, CT – Governor Dannel P. Malloy last week announced that, as part of the package of proposals he will introduce later this month, he will sponsor legislation designed to protect the victims of domestic violence.  This legislation will prohibit possession of firearms for anyone who becomes subject to a temporary restraining order, eliminating a critical window of time during which time a victim’s life could be at risk.
“We know that the period of time immediately following a domestic violence victim’s application for a restraining order is one of the most volatile, and access to a firearm in that situation presents an additional, outstanding threat,” said Governor Malloy.  “If a judge determines that a victim is in enough danger that they should be granted a temporary restraining order, that victim should not have to wait until they are fully protected.  This is a commonsense proposal already enacted in many states across our country, and will protect against needless tragedy.  It’s not a Democrat or Republican initiative – it is, simply, a logical one.”

 

Under current state law, after a temporary restraining order is issued, a hearing must occur before a judge can issue a permanent restraining order and prohibit firearm possession.  These hearings often come weeks after the temporary restraining order is issued.  The Governor’s proposal will require that individuals relinquish their firearms shortly after the judge’s temporary restraining order is issued, giving victims additional protection at this critical time.

 

“It is unconscionable that domestic violence puts so many lives — and so many women and children — at risk,” said Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman.  “Victims must know that government and the courts will take seriously these threats of violence, and this proposal demonstrates the strength of our commitment to their protection.  I applaud Governor Malloy and the many legislators and advocates who have taken a stand to prevent domestic violence.”

 

“In instances where an individual’s safety is potentially at risk in their own home, we must make every effort we can to ensure that they are free from harm,” said State Senator Eric Coleman (D-Hartford), who serves as Senate chairman of the Judiciary Committee.  “This is a reasonable proposal that puts public safety first, and is a good example of Connecticut taking the lead on domestic violence prevention.”

 

State Representative William Tong (D-Stamford, Darien), who serves as House chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said, “This legislation is critical to protect families from domestic violence.  Families, particularly children, should not have to wait weeks for a court hearing when they are in any kind of danger because another person has access to a gun.  The gun can always be returned later to the rightful owner, but the bullet that could injure or kill someone cannot be unfired.” Continue reading GOV.

Police are investigating a fatal motor vehicle accident that occurred at Noble Avenue and Crown Street.

1:26am–#Bridgeport CT–Just before 1:30am first responders were called to Crown Street and Nobel Avenue, right in front of the Beardsley Park Zoo Entrance for a serious car crash. Witnesses first on scene told me they heard the crash and then thought they saw the driver of the van run from the scene. Firefighters told me that there was just one patient, the woman in the silver Nissan that was T-boned.

Firefighters worked like clockwork to not only extricate the woman from the car but also pulled the van that greatly intruded into the sedan’s driver’s compartment through banks of snow. The witnesses said they expected a serious accident due to the high snowbanks and how most drivers don’t stop for stop signs.

At this time we do not know the condition of the victim but the accident team is on scene investigating.
