The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) has warned that a “highly sophisticated” cyber-attack may have exposed residents’ personal data, including financial information.
The “malware attack”, which took place in May, has affected “an unknown number of individuals but potentially involves any data stored on the department’s information technology infrastructure at the time of the cyber-attack”, said the DHSS in a press release (PDF) published yesterday (September 16).
