PBI Research Services has suffered a data breach with three clients disclosing that the data for 4.75 million people was stolen in the recent MOVEit Transfer data-theft attacks.
In a MOVEit Security Event notice published on their website, Genworth says PBI informed them of the security breach on May 29th, 2023, and verified on June 16th that customers' personal data was stolen.
The firm estimates that the data breach impacted between 2.5 and 2.7 million individuals who are either its customers or working for them as insurance agents.
The second firm impacted by the PBI breach is Wilton Reassurance, a New York-based insurance provider, which reports that 1,482,490 of its customers had data stolen.
The third company impacted by PBI's data breach is CalPERS, the largest public pension fund in the US, which is now informing retirees and beneficiaries about the event.
In a notice to its website, CalPERS says it responded to the situation immediately after learning about the breach and took actions to secure its members' benefits and data by strengthening its data management protocols that pertain to working with contractors.
