Aflac

Aflac, the largest supplemental insurance provider in the U.S., disclosed a breach where attackers may have stolen personal and health information. The network was not affected by ransomware, but sensitive information related to customers, beneficiaries, employees, agents, and other individuals was potentially exposed. The breach was part of a broader campaign targeting insurance companies by a sophisticated cybercrime group, possibly Scattered Spider.
