$6M Landmark Admin data breach class action settlement affects customers of six insurance companies

Multiple insurance companies and their third-party administrator, Landmark Admin, agreed to a $6 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that they failed to prevent a 2024 data breach that compromised sensitive information. The insurance companies include:

• American Benefit Life Insurance Company
  
• American Monumental Life Insurance Company
  
• Capitol Life Insurance Company
  
• Continental Mutual Insurance Company
  
• Liberty Bankers Life Insurance Company
  
• Accendo Insurance Company
  

The Landmark settlement benefits individuals whose private information was potentially compromised in the data breach that occurred between May 13 and June 17, 2024.

According to the Landmark data breach class action lawsuit, the defendants failed to prevent a cyberattack that compromised sensitive information, such as names, Social Security numbers, financial account information and health insurance data. Plaintiffs in the case claim that Landmark and the defendant insurance companies could have prevented the breach by implementing reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Landmark Admin is a third-party administrator that provides insurance and retirement plan services.

Landmark Admin has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $6 million settlement to resolve the data breach class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Landmark settlement, class members can receive reimbursement for documented losses or a one-time cash payment.

Class members who experienced unreimbursed monetary losses stemming from fraud or identity theft related to the data breach can receive up to $2,500 in compensation. Class members must provide documentation of these losses to receive reimbursement.

Class members who did not experience documented losses can receive a flat payment of $30. Depending on the number and value of claims filed with the settlement, this payment may be reduced on a pro rata basis.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Nov. 25, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Landmark data breach settlement is scheduled for Jan. 29, 2026.
