Global Life Confirms Hackers Tried to Extort the Insurance Giant Following June Breach

American insurer Global Life says a cyber incident in June has led to an extortion attempt on the company.

Globe Life (GL) is one of the largest US financial services companies which operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, providing life insurance, annuity, and supplemental health insurance products.

The Texas-based firm discovered in June that unknown threat actors had compromised one of its web portals and had potentially stolen customer data.
