Allianz Life Insurance Company Data Breach Class Action Investigation

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Allianz Life Insurance Company data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Allianz Life Insurance Company, which exposed sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts's office states that the Allianz Life Insurance Company data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident. Allianz identified an unauthorized attempt to access policyholders' personal data, which may have been successful. They’ve secured their systems and reviewed the affected files to assess the impact.

The compromised data includes:

• Names
• Policy numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by Allianz Life Insurance Company on January 10, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
   1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
   2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
   3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries
      
      
2. Consider freezing your credit
   1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze

   1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Allianz Life Insurance Company

   2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
   3. Consider using a password manager for better security
      
      
5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
