Cybercriminals are always looking for new companies to attack, and the insurance industry seems to be a favorite. Insurance companies are lucrative targets because of the vast amounts of personal, financial and medical information they collect and store.Only recently, U.S. insurance giant American Family Life Assurance Company (Aflac) confirmed it was among the victims of a notorious cyber gang. Now, another insurance provider has fallen prey to a data breach. Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America has disclosed a breach that exposed personal information belonging to the “majority” of its 1.4 million customers.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

The breach occurred on July 16 and involved the compromise of data belonging not just to customers, but also financial professionals and some employees.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREAccording to Allianz, the attacker used a social engineering technique to break in, though the company did not disclose further details. Social engineering attacks typically involve tricking employees into revealing passwords or installing malicious software that gives attackers access to internal systems.Allianz said it “took immediate action to contain and mitigate the issue” and has notified federal law enforcement, including the FBI. The company added that there is “no evidence that the Allianz Life network or other company systems were accessed, including our policy administration system.”  Illustration of a hacker at work  (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)What personal data was exposedAllianz did not specify what kind of customer data was taken, but life insurance providers often store highly sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth and financial details.The company also didn’t say who might be behind the attack. But cybersecurity researchers recently warned that Scattered Spider, a financially motivated hacking group known for using social engineering tactics, has been actively targeting insurance companies in recent months.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?Allianz said its investigation remains ongoing and that it has begun reaching out to those affected, offering support through dedicated resources.Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America is a subsidiary of Germany-based Allianz SE, one of the world’s largest financial services firms. The breach appears limited to the U.S. arm of the company. A person scrolling on a smartphone   (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)Best ways you can stay safe after a data breachIf your personal information has been exposed in a data breach, taking the right steps immediately can help you limit the damage, protect your identity and prevent future fraud.1. Invest in a data removal serviceYou can’t undo the damage once hackers have accessed your data. However, you can limit the fallout by investing in a data removal service. A data removal service can help you remove all this personal information from the internet. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com/DeleteGet a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web: Cyberguy.com/FreeScan2. Use identity theft protection servicesYour Social Security number or other sensitive data may have been exposed in the data breach. Identity Theft companies can monitor personal information like your Social Security number, phone number and email address and alert you if it is being sold on the dark web or being used to open an account. They can also assist you in freezing your bank and credit card accounts to prevent further unauthorized use by criminals.See my tips and best picks on how to protect yourself from identity theft at Cyberguy.com/IdentityTheft 3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)Turn on 2FA for your email, banking and insurance logins. Even if a hacker has your password, 2FA requires a second verification step, like a code sent to your phone, making unauthorized access much harder.4. Be wary of phishing and follow-up scamsAfter a data breach, attackers often follow up with phishing emails or phone calls. They pretend to be from your insurance company or a support service. Don’t click on links in unsolicited messages and verify any claims through official channels before responding. The best way to safeguard yourself from malicious links that install malware, potentially accessing your private information, is to have antivirus software installed on all your devices. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe.Get my picks for the best 2025 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com/LockUpYourTech5. Freeze your credit right awayPut a credit freeze on your files with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. This stops criminals from opening new accounts in your name. It’s free, easy to set up and you can lift the freeze temporarily when needed. 6. Update your passwords nowChange your passwords for all important accounts. Start with email, financial and health-related logins. Use strong, unique passwords for each account. Consider using a password manager, which securely stores and generates complex passwords, reducing the risk of password reuse. Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2025 at Cyberguy.com/Passwords7. Check your accounts for strange activityLook for any signs of identity misuse, like:Unknown chargesLogins from unfamiliar devicesNew accounts or lines of credit you didn’t openEarly detection makes a big difference.8. Report identity theft fastIf someone is misusing your identity, go to IdentityTheft.gov. This government site provides step-by-step help and generates the letters and reports you’ll need to stop the fraud.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPKurt’s key takeawayThe Allianz Life breach fits a pattern we’ve seen too often. Attackers targeted a third-party vendor, stole customer data and triggered a response from the company. Allianz claims it acted quickly to contain the breach and alert authorities, but it hasn’t explained what data the attackers stole or how they pulled it off. This silence raises serious concerns.Do you trust insurance companies to protect your personal data?

Bionic arms used to cost more than a new car. Today, that’s no longer the case. Unlimited Tomorrow is making 3D-printed prosthetics available for under $8,000 and doing it without sacrificing quality, comfort or functionality. Easton LaChappelle founded the company in 2014 at the age of 18. His simple goal was to give more people access to advanced prosthetics that actually fit their lives. Today, the company’s flagship product, TrueLimb, is helping adults and children around the world regain mobility and confidence.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox.

Each arm is personalized to match the user’s opposing limb, down to fingertip size and skin tone. A wide range of color options are available, including natural shades, jet black and metallic silver. Instead of relying on standard sizes, TrueLimb is custom-built using a remote 3D scanning system. This digital process eliminates the need for in-person fittings and allows for precise, individualized design. The socket is breathable, adjustable and crafted for all-day wear. A built-in BOA dial lets users fine-tune the fit with ease. At just 1.0 to 1.5 pounds from socket to fingertip, the prosthetic remains lightweight and comfortable.  TrueLimb, a 3D-printed prosthetic  (Unlimited Tomorrow)Smart sensors power intuitive, muscle-based controlTrueLimb features TrueSense technology, which includes over 30 topographical sensors embedded within the socket. These sensors detect subtle muscle movements on the residual limb, delivering accurate and responsive control, even when the limb is covered or sweating.While often referred to as “mind-controlled,” TrueLimb does not read brain signals directly. Instead, it uses advanced sensors to pick up electrical activity from muscles in the residual limb. These signals reflect the user’s intended movements, allowing the prosthetic to respond in real time, creating a seamless, intuitive experience that feels like second nature.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?The system adapts automatically by identifying the most active myo sites, deactivating less useful sensors and fine-tuning responsiveness based on the user’s signal strength. This ensures consistent performance, even if muscle activity changes over time.The prosthetic includes six intuitive grip patterns to support a wide range of daily activities. Independent finger joints allow the hand to wrap around objects naturally, offering both strength and flexibility. The device is precise enough to handle delicate tasks, such as lifting an egg without cracking it.  TrueLimb, a 3D-printed prosthetic  (Unlimited Tomorrow)Feel touch again with haptic feedback technologyBeyond movement, TrueLimb gives the user back a sense of touch. Gentle vibrations provide feedback when the prosthetic hand makes contact with objects. This helps users operate the device without always needing to look down, making actions more fluid and natural. The thumb is manually opposable, giving the user better control over grip force and object handling. Whether opening a bottle or holding a pen, the motion feels smooth and confident.Built for daily life with durable, lightweight materialsTrueLimb is made with PA12 nylon, a highly durable material used in industrial-grade applications. The entire arm is built to withstand daily life. It’s splash-resistant, heat-resistant, stain-resistant and tough enough to handle impact or abrasion. Thanks to its rubberized palm and coated fingertips, the hand maintains a firm grip on smooth or slippery surfaces. And with bionic strength, it can lift objects up to 15 pounds with ease.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREFast charging and multi-day battery lifePower won’t hold the user back. TrueLimb uses a USB-C charger, the same kind used for most phones and laptops, so no special adapter is needed. A high-capacity 5600mAh battery provides multi-day life, giving freedom to move without frequent recharges. The device also receives over-the-air software updates, so performance improves over time without needing to return the device. Behind the scenes, analytics tools help optimize each arm’s performance based on how it’s being used.How TrueLimb is designed and delivered from homeOne of the most innovative parts of the TrueLimb process is how it reaches users. Everything happens remotely. Users receive a 3D scanner in the mail to capture the shape of their limb. The data goes directly to the Unlimited Tomorrow team, which builds the prosthetic in-house. This approach eliminates middlemen and dramatically speeds up delivery. Users typically receive their completed prosthetic within weeks.  TrueLimb is pictured in the box in which it was delivered. (Unlimited Tomorrow)What this means for youIf you or a loved one needs a prosthetic arm, this technology changes everything. You no longer need to wait months, file insurance claims or attend repeated fittings. With TrueLimb, you get a high-tech, customized solution faster and at a lower cost. You also gain full control and comfort. The sensors respond to your muscle signals without any lag. The arm fits your body, looks natural and feels like part of you.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPKurt’s key takeawaysUnlimited Tomorrow is revolutionizing prosthetics with TrueLimb. This device combines 3D printing, smart sensors and remote support to deliver a user-friendly solution. It’s lightweight, strong, affordable and customizable. Most importantly, it brings freedom and functionality back to people who need it.

If you’re in your 50s or 60s, you’re a prime target. They know your age, homeownership status, estimated net worth and even retirement timeline. They don’t guess, they know. Your information is being sold across hundreds of websites, and thousands of people can access it. Curious about how exposed you are?WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?What is a “pre-qualified” retirement scam?These scams mimic real communications from financial institutions. You might get a letter or call claiming you’re approved for a new investment or annuity opportunity. Scammers often use financial buzzwords like “IRA consolidation” or “required minimum distribution guidance.” The goal? To make you feel like you’re dealing with a trusted expert. They create fake advisor profiles, complete with headshots, license numbers and U.S. contact info. Many even add logos or branding from familiar banks to boost credibility. But once you respond, they’ll ask for private financial info or, worse, get you to transfer funds directly into their accounts. A woman typing on her laptop and taking notes in her notebook. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)Why older adults are prime targetsScammers love targeting seniors because they typically have savings and are making major financial decisions. Plus, their data is easier to get. The unregulated data broker industry makes it easy for bad actors to find and target seniors with laser focus.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREHow scammers get your dataThese scams are fueled by data purchased from brokers. These companies gather your details, compile profiles and sell them, often without your knowledge. You could appear on lists labeled “Retirees with $250k+ Net Worth” or “Homeowners Nearing Retirement.” It’s disturbingly precise. Some brokers scrape public records, while others buy data from loyalty cards, surveys or sweepstakes. Bottom line: this happens quietly, behind your back.The financial toll of these scamsIn 2024, the FBI reported that seniors lost over $4.8 billion to scams, a record high. Retirement-related fraud was a major part of that. Once your money is gone, it’s usually gone for good. Even if the scammer misled you, your bank may not cover the loss if you authorized the transaction. These scams drain more than just savings. They create lasting stress, fear and shame. Prevention is your best defense.

Follow these steps to take control today:1. Use a personal data removal serviceThe fewer people who can access your personal information, the safer you are. Opt out of data broker websites manually, or use a data-removal service. Manually removing yourself from hundreds of data brokers is overwhelming. A reputable service can automate the process and protect your exposure long-term. While no service can guarantee the complete removal of your data from the internet, a data-removal service is really a smart choice.  They aren’t cheap, and neither is your privacy.  These services do all the work for you by actively monitoring and systematically erasing your personal information from hundreds of websites.  It’s what gives me peace of mind and has proven to be the most effective way to erase your personal data from the internet.  By limiting the information available, you reduce the risk of scammers cross-referencing data from breaches with information they might find on the dark web, making it harder for them to target you.Check out my top picks for data removal services, and get a free scan to find out whether your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com/DeleteGet a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web: Cyberguy.com/FreeScan2.
