American insurance company AssuranceAmerica has disclosed a data breach impacting nearly 7 million drivers after attackers gained access to its systems earlier this year.
AssuranceAmerica operates through a network of over 9,500 independent agents and provides auto, renters, and commercial auto insurance coverage across 14 U.S. states.
While the company has yet to publish a press release regarding the incident, it revealed in a filing with Maine's Office of the Attorney General that the data breach has exposed the information of 6,998,886 people.
As TechCrunch first reported, AssuranceAmerica detected the breach on March 17 and found that the attackers had stolen a wide range of customer information from its systems.
"On March 17, 2026, the Company detected suspicious activity involving certain Company systems that appears to have resulted from malicious activity on March 16, 2026 that targeted one of the Company's employees. During the investigation, the Company determined that an unauthorized third party accessed certain portions of the Company's informational technology (IT) environment and copied certain data files," it notes in data breach notification letters that will be sent to affected people on Friday.
