Globe life confirms breach after investigation, 850k more affected

Time and time again, we see breaches, which is fine. That’s where we live now. But how many times have we talked about the fact that these companies are holding on to info that is not necessarily helpful in your job.

This time, one of the pieces of data includes the insurance policy data which of course is needed for part of the job.

But here we go, again. Here is all of what is taken.

  • Full names
  • Email addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Postal addresses
  • Dates of birth
  • Social Security numbers (SSNs)
  • Health-related data
  • Insurance policy information

Here we go, again with the social security number. Is this really necessary? This is becoming the biggest problem, and we have still not solved this problem.

Just don’t collect it. If needed, use it for what you need to use it for than destroy it. Period!

Globe Life data breach may impact an additional 850,000 clients is the article.

Have fun!
