Landmark Admin & Life Insurance Cos. $6M Data Breach Settlement

Landmark Admin LLC, along with American Benefit Life Insurance Co., American Monumental Life Insurance Co., Capitol Life Insurance Co., Continental Mutual Insurance Co., Liberty Bankers Life Insurance Co. and Accendo Insurance Co. agreed to pay $6 million to settle a class action lawsuit.
