Globe Life, a subsidiary of American Income Life Insurance Company, is facing hacker extortion following a cyber attack that exposed the personal information of at least 5,000 customers.
The breach occurred in June 2024 and the hackers have been demanding money in exchange for not releasing the stolen information.
The stolen information includes customer names, addresses, phone numbers, policy information, and possibly some Social Security numbers. No payment information has been compromised.
Globe Life has reported the breach to federal authorities, addressed the vulnerabilities that led to the breach, and customers will receive further instructions on how to proceed.
