Description: The California Office of the Attorney General reported that Farmers Insurance experienced a data breach between January 20, 2021, and February 12, 2021, potentially exposing personal information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and driver's license numbers. The breach was reported on May 4, 2021.
Description: The California Office of the Attorney General disclosed a data breach affecting Farmers Insurance, which transpired on **March 31, 2019**, but was reported later on **December 3, 2019**. The incident involved unauthorized access to sensitive customer data, including **names, Social Security numbers, and medical history**. While the precise number of impacted individuals remains undisclosed, the exposure of such highly personal information poses severe risks, including identity theft, financial fraud, and privacy violations. The breach underscores vulnerabilities in Farmers Insurance’s data protection measures, potentially eroding customer trust and triggering regulatory scrutiny. Given the nature of the compromised data—particularly medical records and Social Security numbers—the long-term repercussions for affected individuals could be substantial, ranging from targeted phishing attacks to fraudulent credit applications. The delay in public disclosure further compounds concerns about transparency and incident response protocols within the organization.
Description: Farmers Insurance Exchange (and its subsidiaries) experienced a data breach after a vendor detected suspicious activity on May 29, 2025. The incident, linked to a broader cybercrime campaign targeting Salesforce environments, resulted in unauthorized access to customer data, including **names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers**, and in some cases, the **last four digits of Social Security numbers**. A known cybercrime group claimed responsibility. While the breach was contained with law enforcement and cybersecurity expert support, the exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) poses risks of identity theft, fraud, and reputational harm. The breach is part of a coordinated attack affecting multiple industries, amplifying concerns over third-party vendor vulnerabilities. Affected customers received notification letters, and legal investigations are underway to assess liability and potential compensation for impacted individuals.
Description: A data breach at Farmers Insurance, discovered via a third-party vendor, exposed the personal information of over **1.07 million customers**. The incident occurred on **May 29–30, 2025**, when an unauthorized actor accessed a vendor’s database containing Farmers’ customer records. The compromised data included **names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of Social Security numbers**. The breach was detected through monitoring tools, prompting containment measures, including blocking unauthorized access. Farmers launched an investigation, confirming on **July 24, 2025**, that customer data had been accessed and acquired. Affected individuals were notified starting **August 22, 2025**, with offers of **24 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection services**. While no evidence suggested further data exposure, the breach highlights vulnerabilities in third-party vendor security, raising concerns over potential identity theft or fraud for impacted policyholders. The incident aligns with a broader trend of cyber threats targeting U.S. insurers in 2025.
Description: Farmers Insurance suffered a data breach linked to a third-party hack at Salesforce, compromising over **1 million customers’ sensitive information**, including names, addresses, birth dates, and driver’s licenses. Among the affected were **agricultural producers**, whose personal and operational data were exposed. The breach fueled follow-on phishing scams, exploiting the stolen data to trick victims into revealing further credentials or financial details. While the attack did not involve ransomware, the exposure of **personally identifiable information (PII)**—critical for farm operations, loan applications, and subsidy eligibility—posed severe risks of **identity theft, financial fraud, and reputational damage**. The incident underscored vulnerabilities in rural sectors, where reliance on third-party platforms (like Salesforce) and shared email systems heightens exposure. No evidence suggested the breach directly disrupted farm operations, but the **leak of customer data**—including ag producers—aligned with broader trends targeting the industry’s digital dependencies.
Description: The New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) fined **Farmers Insurance Exchange** **$2.8 million** for inadequate cybersecurity controls that exposed consumer data—including **driver’s license numbers and birth dates**—through vulnerable online quoting platforms. The breach stemmed from systemic failures in safeguarding sensitive personal information, compounded by the company’s **delay in reporting the incident**, which further undermined consumer protections. DFS mandated remedial measures, including a **comprehensive review of data storage and access protocols**, to prevent future exposures. The enforcement action highlights regulatory scrutiny under New York’s cybersecurity framework (enacted in 2017, updated in 2023), which serves as a benchmark for financial sector oversight. While Farmers Insurance acknowledged the penalties, the case remains part of an **ongoing DFS investigation** into broader industry vulnerabilities. The incident underscores the risks of **unsecured digital platforms** in handling high-value consumer data, particularly in sectors like auto insurance where personally identifiable information (PII) is routinely processed.
Farmers Insurance has 347.76% more incidents than the average of same-industry companies with at least one recorded incident.
Farmers Insurance has 368.75% more incidents than the average of all companies with at least one recorded incident.

Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and other languages. Prior to versions 19.2.16, 20.3.14, and 21.0.1, there is a XSRF token leakage via protocol-relative URLs in angular HTTP clients. The vulnerability is a Credential Leak by App Logic that leads to the unauthorized disclosure of the Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) token to an attacker-controlled domain. Angular's HttpClient has a built-in XSRF protection mechanism that works by checking if a request URL starts with a protocol (http:// or https://) to determine if it is cross-origin. If the URL starts with protocol-relative URL (//), it is incorrectly treated as a same-origin request, and the XSRF token is automatically added to the X-XSRF-TOKEN header. This issue has been patched in versions 19.2.16, 20.3.14, and 21.0.1. A workaround for this issue involves avoiding using protocol-relative URLs (URLs starting with //) in HttpClient requests. All backend communication URLs should be hardcoded as relative paths (starting with a single /) or fully qualified, trusted absolute URLs.
Forge (also called `node-forge`) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. An Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft deep ASN.1 structures that trigger unbounded recursive parsing. This leads to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) via stack exhaustion when parsing untrusted DER inputs. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.2.
Forge (also called `node-forge`) is a native implementation of Transport Layer Security in JavaScript. An Integer Overflow vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and below enables remote, unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures containing OIDs with oversized arcs. These arcs may be decoded as smaller, trusted OIDs due to 32-bit bitwise truncation, enabling the bypass of downstream OID-based security decisions. This issue has been patched in version 1.3.2.
Suricata is a network IDS, IPS and NSM engine developed by the OISF (Open Information Security Foundation) and the Suricata community. Prior to versions 7.0.13 and 8.0.2, working with large buffers in Lua scripts can lead to a stack overflow. Users of Lua rules and output scripts may be affected when working with large buffers. This includes a rule passing a large buffer to a Lua script. This issue has been patched in versions 7.0.13 and 8.0.2. A workaround for this issue involves disabling Lua rules and output scripts, or making sure limits, such as stream.depth.reassembly and HTTP response body limits (response-body-limit), are set to less than half the stack size.
Suricata is a network IDS, IPS and NSM engine developed by the OISF (Open Information Security Foundation) and the Suricata community. In versions from 8.0.0 to before 8.0.2, a NULL dereference can occur when the entropy keyword is used in conjunction with base64_data. This issue has been patched in version 8.0.2. A workaround involves disabling rules that use entropy in conjunction with base64_data.
