Genworth Financial ( NYSE: GNW ) said Thursday that personal information of 2.5M-2.7M customers was exposed in a data breach, according to an SEC filing.
PBI Research Services, a third-party vendor to Genworth ( GNW ), fell victim to the widely reported security events involving the MOVEit file transfer system, which PBI uses in the performance of its services.
The "security event resulted in the unauthorized acquisition by a third-party of data from several organizations and governmental agencies," the filing said, including GNW data.
The breach had no material effect on Genworth's business, operations or financial results, it said, noting impacted customers will be offered credit monitoring and identity theft protection services.
GNW's life insurance businesses use PBI to satisfy regulatory obligations to search various databases to identify the deaths of insured persons under a number of policies.
