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.
  • Starting June 20, the company launched a call center to provide impacted individuals with complimentary services including identity protection, credit surveillance, and Medical Shield coverage for two years.
  • Aflac continues to serve customers normally while working with cybersecurity experts, but it remains early in the investigation and the total impact is still undetermined.
