Landmark is a third-party administrator for life insurance carriers and may have received certain personal information from producers, insureds, policy owners or policy beneficiaries for insurance policies which Landmark administered.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Happened?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On or about May 13, 2024, Landmark detected suspicious activity on its system and later learned that an unauthorized third party accessed its network. Upon discovery of this incident, Landmark immediately disconnected indicated systems and remote access to the network and promptly engaged a specialized third-party cybersecurity firm and IT personnel to assist with securing the environment, as well as to conduct a comprehensive forensic investigation to determine the nature and scope of the incident. While the forensic investigation remains ongoing, Landmark found evidence to suggest some of its files may have been compromised by an unauthorized third-party.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on these findings, Landmark began reviewing the affected systems to identify the specific individuals and the types of information that may have been compromised.<\/span><\/p>\n

The information varies by individual. Affected individuals will be notified by mail of information that was impacted.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Remediation Measures Were Taken?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Landmark takes the privacy and security of personal information seriously. Since the discovery, Landmark moved quickly to investigate and secure its systems. Landmark has taken steps to further enhance its network security, and took steps, and will continue to take steps, to mitigate the risk of future harm.<\/span><\/p>\n
