Life Insurance Giant Allianz Now Says Nearly 1,500,000 People Impacted in July Data Breach – Names, Addresses, Dates of Birth and Social Security Num
A US-based life insurer that suffered a massive data breach in July says that the security incident has affected more people than previously estimated.
On July 16th, hackers compromised the systems of the Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and managed to obtain the personally identifiable information of affected individuals.
According to the data breach warning protocol Have I Been Pwned, the cyber attack exposed the names, email addresses, genders, date of births, phone numbers and physical addresses of 1.1 million people.
A new data breach notification from the Office of the Maine Attorney General says that the hacking incident affected 1,497,036 persons. The information was provided by Allianz Life through its outside counsel Eversheds Sutherland.
A notice sent to impacted parties says that the compromised data may include their name, address, date of birth and Social Security number.
“The threat actor was able to obtain certain personal information related to Allianz Life customers, financial professionals, and select Allianz Life employees. We took immediate action to contain and mitigate the issue. Based on our investigation to-date, there is no evidence the Allianz Life network or other company systems were accessed.”
The life insurer is now offering a free identity theft protection service for affected individuals.
