An audit of a state government Web site database after someone hacked into the system found that personal information including Social Security numbers for 71,000 health-care workers had been accessed, officials said yesterday.
The breach occurred about two months ago, during the theft of some credit card information.
The breach occurred Jan. 3 at the same time that the hacker accessed credit-card information of about 5,600 people and businesses.
Folks received letters in the mail informing them of the breach. Hat tip to Indiana law blog
I sure hope Attorney General Carter is checking up on these website sponsored and supported by local government. The damage a hacker can do.
