"1.3 Million Maine Residents Impacted by MOVEit Hack"

The State of Maine is the latest entity to disclose a significant impact from the cyberattack targeting a zero-day in Progress Software’s MOVEit file transfer tool earlier this year.  According to security researchers at Emsisoft, more than 2,500 organizations and over 69 million individuals have been affected by the MOVEit hack.  The state of Main has found that the breach affected 1.3 million Main residents.  The attackers accessed personal information such as names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license/state identification numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, and, in some cases, medical information and health insurance information.  In an online notification, the state reveals that, between May 28 and May 29, the attackers accessed and downloaded “files belonging to certain agencies in the State of Maine” through Maine’s MOVEit server, with no other systems being compromised.  The Maine Department of Health and Human Services was impacted the most, as more than 50% of the stolen files belonged to it, with the Maine Department of Education being second most affected (owning 10-30% of the files).
