Ransomware Attack Results in Data Theft of Entire State’s Population

Posted on November 11, 2023 By Haley Bennett

In an unprecedented cyber attack, the state of Maine has confirmed that 1.3 million residents have had their data stolen as part of a ransomware attack that occurred between May 28 and May 29 of this year. The attack targeted a third-party file transfer tool known as MOVEit, which is used by thousands of entities worldwide to send and receive data.

Sensitive personal data including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license or state ID numbers, taxpayer ID numbers, and medical information, as well as health insurance information, may have been affected. The state government was quick to shut off access to MOVEit as soon as the breach was discovered, but a significant amount of data had already been accessed.

Although it’s unclear who was behind the breach, it is believed to be a cybercriminal group known as Clop. As of now, the stolen data has yet to be released by the ransomware group.

Affected individuals are urged to reach out to the state for more information on how they’ve been potentially affected. Maine has set up a website with details for residents. The incident has raised concerns about the security of personal data and the state’s ability to safeguard it.
