Noblr Car Insurance was unexpectedly hidden by a cyber attack as a result they noticed unusual quote activity consisting of a spike in unfinished quotes through its instant quote webpage that exposed 97,633 consumers' information.
The attackers appear to have already been in possession of the names and dates of birth of consumers and then used that information to obtain additional personal information through Noblr’s instant quote platform.
Noblr’s security team investigated the incident and started blocking suspicious IP addresses.
When Noblr discovered that the attackers had access to driver's license numbers, Noblr changed its instant quote system to bar the attackers from getting access in the future and implemented other security measures to stop these attacks.
