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.
