The data breach at U.S. insurance giant Allianz Life in July allowed hackers to steal the personal information of 1.1 million customers, as reported by data breach notification site Have I Been Pwned.
Allianz Life confirmed that hackers accessed the personal information of the majority of its 1.4 million customers and employees from a cloud-stored customer relationship database. The breach included names, gender, date of birth, email and home addresses, phone numbers, and even Social Security numbers.
The hackers responsible for the breach are part of a group known as ShinyHunters, targeting tech and corporate giants like Google, Cisco, Qantas, Pandora, and Workday. These hackers are known for their social engineering skills, gaining access to databases by tricking employees.
The ShinyHunters gang is reportedly preparing a data leak site to extort victims into paying to delete the stolen data. This tactic is common among ransomware gangs, and the group is associated with other cybercriminal organizations like Scattered Spider and The Com.
