professional and employees data, during a data breach occurring mid-July.
When Akianz Life was reached by the news outlet, Brett Weinberg, a spokesperson for the company confirmed the breach.
“On July 16, 2025, a malicious threat actor gained access to a third-party, cloud-based CRM system used by Allianz Life,” referring to a customer relationship management database which contained data on its customers “The threat actor was able to obtain personally identifiable data related to the majority of Allianz Life’s customers, financial professionals, and select Allianz Life employees, using a social engineering technique,”, reported the spokesperson.
On Saturday, the company disclosed the data breach in a legally required filing with Maine’s attorney, yet did not immediately a number of how many Alianz Like customers were affected. The company now has 1.4 million customers and has more than 125 million customers worldwide.
Allianz Life said it notified the FBI and added it had “no evidence” that any other systems from their network would be compromised. The insurance company also di not mention whether or not they received any notes or that they have been contacted by the attackers. More so, the company also did not attribute this incident to a hacking group.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that Allianz Life is the latest company in the past month to have been hacked during a wave of data breaches that are targeting a larger insurance industry, including Aflac, a major provider of supplementary health insurance.
In June, Google said that they were “aware of multiple intrusions” across the insurance sector attributed to Scattered Spider, a collective of hackers and techniques that rely on social engineering techniques such as deceptively calling and tricking helpdesks into granting them access to a company’s network.
Before targeting insurance companies, the Scattered Spider hackers seemed to be targeting the UK retail industry as well as the aviation industry
