Western & Southern Life Data Breach Investigation

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

What Happened?

A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts states that the data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident that was discovered when there was unauthorized access to consumer information that had been provided to the company. It is unclear if the incident occurred directly at Western & Southern Life or at one of the company's third-party vendors. Western & Southern Life reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted. Data breach letters were sent out by Western & Southern Life recently to inform affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
