Allianz Life Data Breach: Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Allianz Life data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from customers of Allianz Life, including those who received a notice stating they were impacted.
Allianz Life Security Incident: What Happened?
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America, which provides financial and retirement solutions, has confirmed that a data breach on July 16, 2025 impacted the majority of its 1.4 million U.S. customers.
The Allianz Life data breach reportedly involved hackers using social engineering to gain access to a third-party, cloud-based CRM system. According to a statement provided by the Minneapolis-based life insurance and annuities provider, a malicious threat actor was able to obtain personal information related to customers, financial professionals and “select” employees. Allianz said that this personal information may include names, addresses and dates of birth.
On July 25, 2025, Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America reported the data breach to the Maine Attorney General’s Office. According to the report, the security incident was discovered on July 17.
BleepingComputer.com writes that the ShinyHunters extortion group may be behind the attack, though Allianz has not confirmed the identity of the hackers or their motive.
Allianz Life said that its investigation into the data breach is still ongoing, noting that the incident did not impact its own systems, and that it has begun to notify impacted individuals.
What You Can Do After the Allianz Life Data Breach
If your information was exposed in the data breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Allianz Life to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
