Hackers Stole Social Security Numbers from Thousands in Utah
An inadequately protected server at the Utah Department of Health was the entrance that hackers used to steal 24,000 files that contained information from 181,604 Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program recipients last week, according to a report from The Salt Lake Tribune.
The majority of the data was stolen between April 1-2, and was only detected after the Department of Technology Services noticed an "unusual volume [of data] streaming out of the server."
