Aflac discloses cybersecurity incident

The company announced, “On June 12, 2025, Aflac (AFL) Incorporated identified suspicious activity on our network in the United States. We promptly initiated our cyber incident response protocols and stopped the intrusion within hours. Importantly, our business remains operational, and our systems were not affected by ransomware. We continue to serve our customers as we respond to this incident and can underwrite policies, review claims, and otherwise service our customers as usual. This attack, like many insurance companies are currently experiencing, was caused by a sophisticated cybercrime group. This was part of a cybercrime campaign against the insurance industry… While our teams work to review the potentially impacted data and determine the specific information involved, we are offering any individual who contacts our dedicated call center free credit monitoring and identity theft protection, and Medical Shield for 24 months.”
