11:42 AM EDT, 03/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Allstate's ( ALL ) National General unit is being sued by New York state for failing to report a data breach that exposed license numbers and for lacking adequate security measures to protect drivers' private information, Reuters reported Monday.

The lawsuit was filed in a Manhattan state court by New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to the report.

Data breaches at National General in 2020 and 2021 exposed license numbers of more than 199,000 people, including 165,000 New Yorkers, the report added, citing James.

Allstate ( ALL ) and National General did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
