Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, Farmers Insurance is an American insurer for home and small businesses, motorcycle and auto, life, financial service products and many other coverages for consumers.

Although the breach notification does not indicate how many people were affected, Farmers Insurance states that some individuals who submitted real quote requests between January 20, 2021 and February 12, 2021 may also receive a notice of data breach.
Farmers Insurance boasts that they serve an estimated 10 million households with more than 19 million individual policies across all 50 states. They have a network of over 48,000 exclusive and independent agents and an estimated 21,000 employees.
The Arnold Law Firm is currently investigating the Farmers Insurance data breach and will continue to provide updates regarding the incident.
