Have you been affected by Fidelity Life Association's data breach?

Fidelity Life Association, (Fidelity Life) a life insurance provider based in Des Plaines, Illinois, has confirmed a data breach that has potentially compromised sensitive consumer information. While the company has not yet issued a public statement or posted an official website notice regarding the breach, the company’s filing with the Texas Attorney General on April 4, 2025, has provided some insight into the incident.

Affected individuals are urged to remain vigilant by regularly reviewing their personal information and monitoring their credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Fidelity Life Association Data Breach Details

The breach was uncovered after Fidelity Life completed an internal investigation into a potential data security issue. The investigation confirmed that unauthorized access was gained to confidential information in the company’s possession. At this stage, it is unclear whether Fidelity Life’s internal IT systems were directly breached, or if the incident occurred due to a third-party vendor or partner’s systems being compromised.

The company has reviewed the affected files and determined that the compromised information could include personal data such as names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and medical information. Although the breach’s full scope is still being determined, Fidelity Life’s notification to the Texas Attorney General states that approximately 786 Texans have been impacted by the incident.

While Fidelity Life has yet to send personalized data breach notifications to the affected individuals, it is expected that these letters will soon be issued. These letters will provide detailed information about the specific data compromised for each individual.

What Information Was Exposed?

The incident, which is still under investigation, involved sensitive personal information, such as:

  • Name
  • Social Security number

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from the Fidelity Life Association, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before the notice arrives.

Steps to Take if You Were Affected by the Fidelity Life Association Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Fidelity Life Association. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify communications directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to detect suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary if applying for credit.
