"Data Breach at WorkForce West Virginia"

Personal information belonging to job seekers residing in West Virginia may have been exposed during a security incident at WorkForce West Virginia. The breach was confirmed yesterday by West Virginia governor Jim Justice. In a breach notification that was sent out, the letters state that WorkForce learned on April 13 that an unauthorized individual had accessed a job-seekers database. The unknown cyber-criminal may have gained access to the database via the Mid-Atlantic Career Consortium Employment Services database or MACC website. West Virginians use the MACC to register for job services before applying for unemployment benefits. Data compromised in the incident may have included names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers.
