In April 2024, Inszone Insurance Services, LLC, a prominent insurance provider, detected unusual activity within its network environment. This led to a comprehensive investigation by a team of cybersecurity specialists. The investigation revealed that certain data stored on Inszone's systems might have been accessed without authorization.

After a thorough review to identify the affected information and individuals, the company completed its assessment on October 25, 2024. The breach impacted a total of 21,829 individuals across the United States, including five residents of Maine.

The ransomeware group, Hunters International, has taken credit for the attack and posted sample data, including exposed social security numbers, on the dark web to confirm the authenticity of the data.

Upon discovering the breach, Inszone Insurance Services, LLC took immediate action to address the issue.
