Farmers Insurance Data Breach
(August 25, 2025)
Farmers Insurance Exchange, along with Farmers Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, has announced a data breach that may have compromised the personal information of approximately 1,071,172 individuals.
What Happened?
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 (the “Incident”). The third-party vendor had monitoring tools in place, which allowed them 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 in-depth investigation determined that an unauthorized actor accessed the vendor’s database on May 29, 2025, and acquired certain data.
With the assistance of a third-party data-review expert, Farmers conducted a comprehensive review to determine what data had been accessed and acquired, whether the data contained personal information, and to whom the personal information belonged. On July 24, 2025, the review determined that some personal information was subject to unauthorized access and acquisition.
Details of the Farmers Data Breach:
The incident resulted from an external system breach (hacking) that exposed names and other personal identifiers, potentially in combination with sensitive information.
Written notifications were sent to affected individuals on August 22, 2025. Farmers Insurance is offering 24 months of free identity-monitoring services through Sontiq, Inc., dba CyberScout Monitoring, to help protect against potential misuse of personal information.
