New York State Fines Geico and Travelers $11.3 Million for Data Breaches
-
New York State fined auto insurers Geico and Travelers Indemnity a combined $11.3 million for lapses in their cybersecurity programs that led to hackers stealing data on 120,000 people during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The fines were issued by New York Attorney General Letitia James and the NYS Department of Financial Services. Both alleged that hackers accessed Geico’s online quoting tool used by insurance agents, starting in 2020, to steal driver’s license numbers and dates of birth. The attacks resulted in the exposure of sensitive information belonging to approximately 116,000 people.
