Aflac Hack May Have Exposed Social Security and Health Data in Latest Insurance Industry Breach
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, JUN 20 – Aflac stopped a cyber intrusion within hours after detecting suspicious activity on June 12, offering 24 months of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection to affected customers.
- Aflac Incorporated identified suspicious network activity on June 12, 2025, in its U.S. operations, leading to a cyberattack response in Columbus, Georgia.
- The attack stemmed from a sophisticated cybercrime group using social engineering tactics as part of a broader campaign targeting the insurance industry.
- Aflac stopped the intrusion within hours last week without ransomware deployment, and the breach potentially exposed Social Security numbers, claims, health, and other personal data.
