FYI- insurance company data breaches impact more than just customers. I had my identity stolen a few years ago because a small car insurance company I’ve never heard of was able to buy data on me from my state’s government to build a potential customer profile, and then they got hacked. I would assume Aflac has data on just about everyone in the US.
Insurance giant Aflac says a cybercrime group breached its systems and may have stolen data; source: the attack bears the hallmarks of Scattered Spider

Well, I hope they have insurance.
Thanks, I’ll see myself out.

If they stole data on digital insurance policies, they’re going to see a rise on their customers getting hit with ransomware attacks that are conveniently asking for their policy limit.
