      Honestly, this one is pretty small potatoes.

      Hackers have stolen personal information of a majority of insurance firm Allianz Life’s 1.4 million customers in North America, its parent company said.

      The German parent company added that the hackers were “able to obtain personally identifiable data related to the majority of Allianz Life’s customers, financial professionals, and select Allianz Life employees, using a social engineering technique”.

      A mere million or two.

      Not to imply that the broader security situation isn’t a problem, mind.
