Aflac disclosed unauthorized network access on June 12 attributed by investigators to the Scattered Spider group, part of a broader campaign that has also impacted Erie Insurance, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, and Tokio Marine North America; attackers used social engineering (fake help-desk calls) to gain access, likely exfiltrating claims information, health data, SSNs and other personal details, though no ransomware was deployed and operations were not disrupted. Aflac has engaged third-party cybersecurity experts and investigations are ongoing.
