Landmark Admin, a third-party administrator for life insurance and annuity companies, announced a data breach affecting more than 800,000 Liberty Bankers Insurance Group policyholders. 

Landmark told policyholders in October that on or about May 13 the company detected suspicious activity. And on May 14, the company learned a third-party had attempted to access its network. A forensic investigation remains ongoing but the company found evidence to suggest information was compromised, according to the data breach notice from Landmark Admin. 

Names, addresses, social security numbers, financial account numbers and medical information may have been accessed, according to Landmark's notice.

There have been two proposed class actions brought against Liberty Bankers Insurance and Landmark. According to the complaints, the third-party had access to the system from May 13 to June 17.

Landmark also provides services for American Monumental Life Insurance Company, Pellerin Life Insurance Company, American Benefit Life Insurance Company, Continental Mutual Insurance and Capitol Life Insurance.
