On November 9, 2024, Inszone Insurance Services, LLC (“Inszone”) reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the Maine Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Inszone’s notice disclosed that, in April 2024, it became aware of suspicious activity within its network. A subsequent investigation confirmed that an unauthorized party had accessed consumers’ private and sensitive personal information stored in Inszone’s system (the “Data Breach”). The Data Breach has impacted approximately 21,829 individuals.

In November 2024, Inszone began sending data breach notification letters to those affected by the Data Breach. Each notification letter includes complimentary access to credit monitoring and identity restoration services. 

As the announcement was made only recently, Inszone has not yet disclosed additional details. If you received a data breach notification letter from Inszone, it indicates that you were affected by the Data Breach. 

Headquartered in Rancho Cordova, California, Inszone is a full-service insurance brokerage founded in 2002. They offer a wide range of insurance solutions for both personal and business needs, including auto, home, commercial property, and artisan contractor insurance. With over 700 employees, Inszone has expanded into multiple states across the U.S. through organic growth and strategic mergers and acquisitions.

WHAT INFORMATION IS INVOLVED IN THE INSZONE INSURANCE SERVICES, LLC DATA BREACH?

As the Data Breach was only recently announced, Inszone has only disclosed very limited information so far. We are closely monitoring the ongoing investigation, and more details are expected to emerge as the company is required to notify all impacted individuals. 

Typically, the confidential information compromised in such cybersecurity incidents involves your name, date of birth, Social Security number, government-issued ID number, financial information, as well as health insurance information and medical information. 

This information is called your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). It tells others about you and is considered part of your identity. Businesses are required to secure this information or risk facing statutory penalties, among other legal penalties. Stolen PII can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity. 

Personal medical information (a specific type of PII) is referred to as Protected Health Information (“PHI”). It is protected under both state and federal law. Healthcare providers and other businesses who handle PHI are required to protect that information. Like stolen PII, stolen PHI can be used by identity thieves to engage in fraudulent activity using your identity. Quite often, PII and PHI are used in conjunction by hackers.

The best way to protect yourself after a data breach is to sign up for credit and identity protection services as soon as possible. 

California offers extra protections and legal rights to its residents through the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
