Data Breach Summary
Philadelphia Insurance Companies (PHLY), a member of the Tokio Marine Group, recently reported a security incident that led to a temporary network outage, affecting its operations and services. PHLY is now actively working with law enforcement and cybersecurity experts to address the situation, with an ongoing investigation to determine the full extent of the incident.
On June 9, 2025, PHLY’s Information Security Team received an alert regarding suspicious activity on its network. Upon further investigation, it was confirmed that unauthorized access had occurred. In response, PHLY took immediate action to disconnect affected systems to contain the threat and prevent further intrusion.
The network shutdown caused disruption to PHLY’s services, but the company has confirmed that no systems were encrypted, and this was not a ransomware attack. Contrary to some media reports, no malware was transmitted through email systems. The incident is still under investigation by forensic experts.
The network shutdown impacted all company systems to some extent. However, the shutdown was necessary to secure PHLY’s data and systems. While most systems are now secured, the company is still in the process of conducting a comprehensive forensic investigation.
As of now, the company has not confirmed whether customer data was accessed or acquired. The investigation is ongoing, and PHLY will notify customers whose data was involved if any personal information was compromised during the incident.
