Fidelity Life Association Data Breach Class Action Investigation

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Fidelity Life Association data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Fidelity Life Association, which may have affected as many as 786 Texas residents, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Texas Attorney General's Office states that the Fidelity Life Association data breach occurred due to unauthorized access to sensitive customer information. The specific details surrounding how this access was obtained remain limited at this time.

According to available information, Fidelity Life Association recently concluded an investigation into a data security incident that confirmed unauthorized parties had accessed confidential information in the company's possession. It remains unclear whether the breach directly affected Fidelity Life's internal systems or occurred through one of their third-party vendors or business partners.

After discovering the breach, Fidelity Life conducted a comprehensive review of all compromised files to determine exactly what information was exposed and which individuals were affected.

The types of sensitive information exposed in this breach include:

• Names
• Addresses
• Driver's license numbers
• Medical information

Data breach letters were likely sent out by Fidelity Life Association around April 4, 2025, which is when they filed their notification with the Texas Attorney General's Office. These notification letters should provide affected individuals with specific details about what personal information of theirs was compromised during the incident.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

   2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
   3. Consider using a password manager for better security
