Aflac Incorporated disclosed that it identified suspicious activity on its network in the United States on June 12, 2025. The company promptly initiated its cyber incident response protocols and contained the intrusion within hours, confirming that its systems were not affected by ransomware.
Preliminary findings indicate that a sophisticated cybercrime group used social engineering tactics to gain network access. Aflac is currently reviewing potentially impacted files, which may contain claims information, health information, Social Security numbers, and other personal data related to customers, beneficiaries, employees, and agents in its U.S. business.
In response, Aflac is offering affected individuals free credit monitoring, identity theft protection, and Medical Shield for 24 months. The company has engaged leading third-party cybersecurity experts to support its investigation and is committed to keeping stakeholders informed as more details emerge.
