"Millions of Insurance Customers Compromised Via Supplier"

Two insurance companies have revealed that millions of Japanese customers’ details were hacked and put up for sale after a third-party contractor was reportedly breached.  Statements from Aflac and Zurich don’t name the breached supplier.  In total, around two million customers were impacted by the incident, including 1.3 million enrolled in Aflac’s cancer insurance policies and 760,000 Zurich auto-insurance policyholders.  Aflac said the compromised data included age, gender, last name, policy number, insurance type number, and coverage amount/premium.  Zurich stated hackers managed to access customer information related to Zurich automobile insurance.  The compromised information of Zurich customers includes names, email addresses, policy numbers, customer IDs, dates of birth, and vehicle information.  Only Japanese customers of the two insurers are thought to have been impacted by the incident.
