Amgen Inc. Data Breach Notice (California Attorney General)

If you received a notification from Amgen, your personal information was included in a data incident the company reported to the California Attorney General. The filing lists names, addresses, dates of birth, and other personal information as exposed. No passwords, financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, medical records, or any other government-issued identifiers were named in the disclosure.

That combination of facts matters. The information that was exposed cannot be changed like a password or cancelled like a credit card. It stays with you for life and retains value for identity thieves years from now. At the same time, the absence of the most dangerous identifiers means the immediate risk profile is narrower than many breaches that make headlines.

The Information That Cannot Be Replaced

The filing confirms that names, residential addresses, and dates of birth were among the categories involved. These three pieces together form a foundational profile that fraudsters use to impersonate someone when opening new accounts, requesting duplicate government documents, or building synthetic identities. Because none of these fields can be reissued, the exposure is permanent.

The record does not state how many California residents were affected. It also does not specify the exact additional fields beyond generic descriptions of personal information. Your own notification letter is the only document that can tell you which specific details applied to you.
