Welcome back to the team and our readers!

We are back folks! I know some thought we just grabbed the money and ran...nothing could be further from the truth. We (the whole team) needed some time to rest and decompress from the almost 80 hour a week job of taking on someone the size of Cigna. While we often seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of energy, we simply went beyond what we had to spend physically and mentally in order to keep up that pace.

Victory...

Dateline: Las Vegas August 2014
Well folks, here is the headline that we always wanted to share but like anything crazy and desperate, we were never certain that it would happen. Yet, it did; actually it happened at the end of last week. We would have reported sooner but Edward just had to get the animated headline above just right. She can be OCD that way ;)

Con-artist Bobby Lyman of Las Vegas says: Trust Me!

Would you buy broadband from this man? Plus, Bobby Lyman only looks like this from the neck-down.

Hey Gang, Radical Ed here to update you on what has been up with the blog.  Since the reason for the outage was as technical in nature as anything, I have been asked to file a report.

Recidivists: A Cigna employee by any other name...

Sometimes I wonder why it is that many other people fighting Cigna seem to spend a lot of time quietly waiting around for things, yet we are fighting them almost every single day. Doing some research today for another report that I was working on turned up something that might explain it all.

Thou Shalt Not Get Away With It...

In a recent court case against Cigna, the allegations included the following eight items that had been done to other people. In our case, they have done them all to us within the period of the most current denial and appeal. Each item as been annotated with what happened to us or what we found in the records. We are fighting them on each point.

Greetings Pilgrims!!

Radical Ed here with part two of our series on Hacking Cigna 101. If you have not read, learned and adopted the lessons learned in lesson 1, please review them now. As with everything you read on the web, it comes with a 20 meter warranty; once it gets 20 meters from the website, it expires ;)

So now that you know how to get around safely and cover your own tracks, it is time to put those skills to use. This being a techie article, expect to learn something. What you learn in this article will allow you to do some things that some people might not be comfortable with. It is up to each of us to consult our experience with Cigna as well as our moral compass and decide what kind of fighter you need to be.  However before deciding on how nice a person you are, remember that in broad strokes, everything here is something that Cigna has done to Jeff Cobb and so probably  will do to you. We are just taking things to the next step.

Sun Tzu once said before you can know your enemy, you must know yourself. Well, if he didn't say that, he should have. You have your target name from the files you scoured here (link to warrior mindset). Your mission: find out all that you can. But how without elite haxor skillz? There is a whole branch of hacking known as Social Engineering. This is where you pair a little bit of knowledge of the world of the 'net with just a touch of confidence man to get what you need.

Protecting yourself and getting your hacker game-face on. 

 

By the end of this article you should have the knowledge to keep Cigna out of your data, pollute what data they have. Finally you will have the ability to do what you need to on the 'net while keeping your tracks hidden. All you need is open source software from the 'net and a little know-how..

Beth's Rants and Raves

Good day!

Welcome to Beth's rant and raves.

For my first post on rants and raves, I would like to tell you about my #1 pet peeve and how it is associated with Cigna.

For Unlawful Cigna Knowledge

This is what it is like trying to get some truth from a Cigna employee.  To paraphrase the old joke, how can you tell that a Cigna employee is lying? Their lips are moving..

Keeping your cool can be hard...

Sometimes it is hard to calm down...

Well, expect the worst out of a Cigna Disability Insurance Company (here after CDIC ) employee and they sure won't disappoint you...

Core Strategy Review

Core Strategy Review:

Our team has been so busy marshaling our forces for battle that we
realized that we were posting things that are somewhat advanced in the
tactic and strategy department without really explaining why.

The Adventures of Dick Puddle...

Anyone who has dealt with Cigna has had days like poor Luke above. They may tell themselves that they don't treat people badly but those of us on the receiving end of Cigna's love feel the beating shown above on a completely different level.

Let's kick things off by introducing you to the first of our rogues gallery. Actually our team is taking a page from the Iraq war and we have set up our own high value targets list. To be on this list you have to have participated in some obviously incompetent or unsavory way in our claim. Once we catch you in our net, your every move is scrutinized throughout the rest of this action.

Something to help you get ready for battle.

We have all had moments like this during a battle with such an intractable enemy. You can let it own you or you can turn it around and use it against them. The first step is getting the warrior mindset.

Once we got out of the shock and awe portion of Cigna's (here after CDIC) treatment of us, we realized that we had to know more because we were fighting an enemy that didn't think like we did, didn't act for reasons acceptable to the rest of the free world and most importantly, could not be trusted to act in good faith, with ethics or compassion.
