In January 2023 the Japanese division of Zurich Insurance Group suffered a significant data security incident involving a third party service provider. The breach resulted in the exposure of personal information belonging to approximately 2.6 million customers. The compromised datasets included sensitive details such as names, dates of birth, gender, and specific insurance policy information related to vehicles. The data was later identified being distributed on various underground forums. Investigation revealed that the incident was localized to the Japanese branch and did not impact the global infrastructure of the insurance giant.
