Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, Lockton determined that cybercriminals infiltrated its inadequately secured computer environment and accessed Lockton’s data files.

The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Dates of birth
- Social Security numbers
