What Happened?
On or about May 13, 2024, Landmark
detected suspicious activity on its system and later learned that

this incident, Landmark immediately disconnected indicated systems
and remote access to the network and promptly engaged a specialized
third-party cybersecurity firm and IT personnel to assist with
securing the environment, as well as to conduct a comprehensive
forensic investigation to determine the nature and scope of the
incident. While the forensic investigation remains ongoing,
Landmark found evidence to suggest some of its files may have been
compromised by an unauthorized third-party.
Based on these findings, Landmark began reviewing the affected

insurance policy number; and life and annuity policy

be notified by mail of information that was impacted.
What Remediation Measures Were Taken?
Landmark takes the privacy and security of personal information
seriously. Since the discovery, Landmark moved quickly to
investigate and secure its systems. Landmark has taken steps to
