Aflac Hack May Have Exposed Social Security and Health Data in Latest Insurance Industry Breach

  • In mid-June of 2025, the Columbus-based insurance company Aflac detected unusual network activity within its U.S. systems related to a cyberattack involving personal information.
  • The breach resulted from social engineering methods employed by an advanced cybercriminal organization as part of a broader campaign targeting the insurance sector.
  • Aflac stopped the intrusion within hours, engaged third-party cybersecurity experts, and began reviewing potentially impacted files containing sensitive customer, employee, and agent information.
  • The files may include social security numbers, health records, claims data, and other personal details, though Aflac could not yet determine the full scope of the exposure.
  • Aflac continues normal operations, offers free credit monitoring through a call center opened on June 20, and pledged to keep stakeholders informed as the investigation progresses.
