On July 30, 2024, Omaha National reported a data breach to the Attorney General of Massachusetts, revealing that a company email account was compromised. This breach allowed unauthorized access to sensitive consumer information, including names, Social Security numbers, and financial account details. Following the discovery, Omaha National began notifying affected individuals through data breach letters.
The breach was caused by a targeted third-party effort, which led to the compromise of a company email account. In response, Omaha National secured the account and terminated all unauthorized access. An investigation was then launched to assess the extent of the data leak and identify the impacted consumers.
The investigation confirmed that the unauthorized party accessed certain emails and attachments containing confidential information. Omaha National reviewed the compromised files to determine the specifics of the leaked data and which individuals were affected.
Omaha National has since sent out notification letters to the impacted individuals, detailing what information was compromised. The company, based in Omaha, Nebraska, is an insurance provider specializing in workers’ compensation plans and payroll services, employing over 190 people and generating around $177 million in annual revenue.
