Allianz Life Breach Confirmed to Expose 1.1 Million Customers, HIBP Finds

The attack is linked to a social‑engineering compromise of a third‑party Salesforce system.

Overview

  • Have I Been Pwned identified about 1.1 million unique Allianz Life customer records in the leak, though dumped Salesforce files contain roughly 2.8 million rows.
  • Exposed information includes names, genders, dates of birth, email and physical addresses, and phone numbers, with state filings also citing stolen Social Security numbers.
  • Allianz Life says the July 16 intrusion targeted a cloud CRM via social engineering, affecting the majority of its 1.4 million customers as well as some financial professionals and employees.
  • The company has notified the FBI, reports no evidence so far of access to internal policy systems, and is offering two years of identity monitoring to affected individuals.
  • Researchers and media link the incident to the ShinyHunters and Scattered Spider campaign stealing Salesforce‑hosted data from multiple major companies, including recent leaks tied to Workday, Google and other brands.
