美國保險巨頭Aflac證實:2265萬客戶個資遭駭,疑為組織性攻擊
美國保險巨頭Aflac證實,因網路攻擊導致約2265萬客戶的敏感個人資料外洩,包括社會安全碼與醫療資訊。外界懷疑駭客組織Scattered Spider為幕後黑手,凸顯保險業面臨的系統性風險。
美國保險業巨擘Aflac本週證實,先前於六月揭露的一起網路攻擊事件,已導致約2,265萬名客戶的個人資料外洩。該公司最初並未公布受害者規模,但根據向德州和愛荷華州檢察長提交的文件,現已開始通知受影響的客戶。
外洩資料範圍廣泛 觸及核心個資
文件顯示,此次資料外洩的數據種類繁多,且極度敏感。遭竊的資訊包括客戶姓名、出生日期、住址、社會安全碼、駕照號碼,以及護照等政府簽發的證件號碼。不僅如此,客戶的醫療和健康保險資訊也一同被盜,對受害者構成嚴峻的隱私與金融安全風險。
駭客鎖定保險業 Scattered Spider嫌疑重大
據Aflac稱,發動攻擊的網路罪犯「可能隸屬於一個已知的網路犯罪組織」。執法部門與資安專家指出,該組織可能一直在大規模針對整個保險行業。根據TechCrunch報導,考慮到當時專門攻擊保險業的英語駭客團體「Scattered Spider」活動頻繁,外界普遍認為其涉入此案的可能性極高。Aflac發言人未對此評論。根據其官網,該公司客戶總數約5,000萬人。
此次事件凸顯了針對特定產業的系統性網路攻擊模式。保險業因持有大量高價值的敏感個資(如社會安全碼與病歷),已成為駭客組織的首要目標。單一企業的防禦已不足夠,整個產業必須建立情報共享與聯防機制,方能應對這類產業鏈式的攻擊威脅。
