Farmers Insurance Data Breach — Over a Million Impacted

Farmers Insurance said its recently disclosed data breach has affected 1,111,386 of its customers. The hack was discovered by one of the company’s third-party providers. Stolen data includes customer names, addresses, dates of birth and last four digits of Social Security numbers.

The company issued a statement on its website and said the provider noticed unauthorized access to a database in May.

"On May 30, 2025, one of Farmers' third-party vendors alerted Farmers to suspicious activity involving an unauthorized actor accessing one of the vendor's databases containing Farmers customer information,” Farmers said. "The third-party vendor had monitoring tools in place, which allowed the vendor to quickly detect the activity and take appropriate containment measures, including blocking the unauthorized actor. After learning of the activity, Farmers immediately launched a comprehensive investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident and notified appropriate law enforcement authorities.”

The company started notifying individuals of the breach on August 22nd and is offering 24-months of ID protection for free to those impacted by the breach.
