Allianz Life says ‘majority’ of customers’ personal data stolen in cyberattack

Allianz Life confirmed a July 16, 2025 breach of a third-party cloud-based CRM in which an attacker used social engineering to obtain personally identifiable information for the majority of Allianz Life customers, financial professionals, and select employees; the company notified the FBI, plans to begin notifying affected individuals around August 1, and researchers note the incident is part of a larger wave of insurance-sector intrusions linked to the Scattered Spider collective, though Allianz has not attributed the breach.
