Sentinel Security Life Data Breach Lawsuit Investigation
Shamis & Gentile P.A., one of the nation's premier class action law firms specializing in data breach cases, is investigating the Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company data breach.
If you were affected by the data breach, your sensitive personally identifiable information may have been exposed, and you may be eligible for compensation.
Who is Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company
Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company is an insurance provider based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Established in 1948, the company began by offering life insurance policies to help families cover funeral expenses and burial costs. Over the years, Sentinel expanded its offerings to include a range of annuity and health-related products, with a focus on serving the senior market.
As of December 2022, Sentinel reported admitted assets of $879.8 million and a gross annuity reserve of $4.96 billion. The company has a history of financial strength, but in December 2024, regulators ordered Sentinel to halt new business due to financial concerns.
What happened in the April 2025 data breach?
In April 2025, Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company discovered a serious data breach affecting current and former policyholders, beneficiaries, and others who interacted with the company. On April 15, 2025, Sentinel detected suspicious activity on its network and immediately began an investigation.
It was determined that between April 7, 2025, and April 15, 2025, an unauthorized actor accessed certain computer systems and potentially acquired sensitive files.
Written notices have been mailed to affected individuals where possible, and a public notice is available for those whose addresses are unknown.
What types of information was exposed?
The review of these files revealed that the following types of consumer information may have been exposed:
- Name
- Social Security number
- Individual taxpayer identification number
- Financial account information
- Date of birth
- Medical or health insurance information
Your Rights and Next Steps
If you believe you may have been affected by this breach, there are important steps you can take to protect yourself and your information.
First, consider enrolling in the free credit monitoring and identity restoration services that Sentinel has made available for one year through IDX. Even if you did not receive a mailed notice, you can contact their assistance line at 844-419-5502, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time, to learn if you are eligible.
You are also entitled to a free credit report every year from each of the three major credit bureaus. Regularly review your credit reports for suspicious activity.
Consider placing a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit file. A fraud alert requires businesses to verify your identity before issuing new credit, and a credit freeze restricts access to your credit report entirely. Both options are free under federal law.
If you notice suspicious activity or believe you are a victim of identity theft, file a report with the Federal Trade Commission and contact your state attorney general or local law enforcement.
May I be entitled to compensation?
If your information was exposed in the Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company data breach, you may be eligible for compensation. Lawyers are ready to help individuals affected by this incident seek justice and possible financial recovery.
