Geico revealed a data breach that occurred on its systems and hackers accessed driver’s licenses.
The insurance giant did not say how many customers were affected by the breach but said the fraudsters accessed customer driver’s license numbers between January 21 and March 1. Companies are required to alert the state’s attorney general’s office when more than 500 state residents are affected by a security incident.
Geico said it had “reason to believe that this information could be used to fraudulently apply for unemployment benefits in your name.”
