US-based Arthur J. Gallagher (AJG) global insurance brokerage and risk management firm confirmed a ransomware attack that hit its systems on Saturday. AJG is one of the largest insurance brokers in the world with more than 33,300 employees and operations in 49 countries. The company is ranked 429 on the Fortune 500 list and it provides insurance services to customers in over 150 countries. A data breach could lead to extremely sensitive documents being exposed in the case of AJG’s case. There is a high chance that data was stolen depending on the group that was behind the attack.
