Fraud Alert-Health Workers of Indiana

Courier-Journal reports a hacker was able to access the social security numbers of some health care workers.

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
