Allianz Life says majority of 1.4 million US customers’ info breached

Allianz Life disclosed a July 16, 2025 breach in which attackers used social engineering to gain access to a third‑party cloud CRM and obtain personally identifiable data for the majority of its ~1.4 million US customers; the company filed a notification and plans to begin notifying affected consumers on August 1, 2025. The incident is linked by commentators to voice‑phishing/extortion campaigns associated with UNC6040/"Scattered Spider," raising the risk of data extortion or resale.
