NAIC says leaked data has been published online by threat actor ShinyHunters

Theinsurer • June 26, 2026

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners said publicly available statutory financial reports, credit rating agency data and rating determinations of ​insurer investments have been published online by a threat actor that ‌gained unauthorized access .

These statutory financial statements made public were already available before this incident through state websites, InsData or resellers and the credit rating determination data does not ​include any rating agency investment rationale reports, the agency said.

"We have ​engaged an outside data consultant to further evaluate the dataset ⁠to validate our internal analysis. We anticipate this review to take at ​least several weeks," the agency said in a statement on Thursday.

The NAIC ​disclosed on June 17 that it had identified on or June 11 unauthorized access to its PeopleSoft systems by an unknown third party, after which it promptly ​activated incident response procedures.

"From the information known to date, there is no ​current evidence that personal information (PII) or payment or financial account information was impacted, including ‌credit ⁠card or banking information," the NAIC said in its latest statement.

As of now, the NAIC said its regulatory filing systems are operating as normal and are secure.

ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the data breach. It said that over ​3.1 terabytes of ​NAIC data, comprising ⁠more than 105,000 files, were compromised, Cyber Risk Insurer reported earlier this week.

The group said this includes 2.1 ​million insurer regulatory filing PDFs, 40,000 quarterly statistical CSVs ​with federal ⁠EINs and company data, more than 45,000 licensed rating agency files from Moody's, Fitch, S&P, Kroll, DBRS and AM Best with CUSIP and ISIN identifiers, ⁠statutory annual ​and quarterly financial statements, premium and loss ​statistics and HR Ratings master data.

ShinyHunters warned that if the NAIC did not reach out ​by Monday, June 22, it would leak the data and cause “several annoying (digital) problems.”
