New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against National General and Allstate for their inadequate cybersecurity measures that led to data breaches affecting more than 165,000 residents. The lawsuit alleges that after the first breach in 2020, National General failed to notify customers and neglected further security assessments, resulting in a second breach. Attorney General James emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity practices and is pursuing penalties to enforce accountability and protect consumer information.
"National General's weak cybersecurity emboldened hackers to steal New Yorkers' personal data, not once but twice in two separate cyberattacks."
"Attorney General James is seeking penalties for National General's failure to institute reasonable data security safeguards and notify consumers."
