At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Brighthouse Life Insurance Company data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident involving multiple third-party vendors, which has exposed sensitive personal identifiable information of an undisclosed number of insurance policyholders.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office states that the Brighthouse Life Insurance Company data breach originated from security incidents. The initial compromise occurred when DXC Technology Company, a Brighthouse administrator, improperly shared data with Education Benefit Consultants, LLC dba Aviben between June 28, 2023, and July 3, 2023. This situation was further complicated by a subsequent data breach at Aviben on February 22, 2024. The compromised information includes:

• Full names
• Dates of birth
• Social Security numbers
• Annuity contract numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by Brighthouse Life Insurance Company on October 22, 2024, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
