Globe Life’s Data Breach: Oops, We Did It Again with 850,000 Customers Affected!
Globe Life’s data breach now impacts 850,000 customers. Initially thought to affect just 5,000, the breach involved unauthorized access to personal data. Despite the hacker’s ransom attempt, Globe Life refused to pay. They assure no major business impact and will claim losses from insurers.

Oh, Globe Life, you’ve really “insured” your spot in the data breach hall of fame, haven’t you? From a “small-scale” breach of 5,000 to a whopping addition of 850,000 customers—looks like the hackers hit the jackpot of personal information! At least they didn’t get a hold of the company’s sense of humor, which they clearly need after refusing to pay the ransom. Let’s hope their insurance policies cover embarrassment because they’re going to need it!
