Two New York insurers, GEICO and Travelers, were found to have poor data security after threat actors exploited vulnerabilities and compromised quoting tools to steal drivers' license numbers; the stolen PII was used to file fraudulent unemployment claims. Regulators fined GEICO $9.75M and Travelers $1.55M (total $11.3M) and required comprehensive remediation measures including improved access controls, logging/monitoring, data inventories, penetration testing, and enhanced incident response.
