Aviva has removed the compromised hardware and "taken steps to secure our environment against similar future malware attacks," the company said in its New Hampshire filing.

Data breach is "an industrywide issue, but one that we take very seriously," Wadle said. "Protecting our customers' data is critical to us."

Aviva sent a notice to one New Hampshire resident potentially affected by the breach. Affected Aviva customers will be offered a free identity-theft protection service for one year and identity theft insurance coverage of US$25,000, the company said.
