CalPERS also Hacked

"The California Public Employees’ Retirement System reported Wednesday that hackers stole the names, social security numbers, birth dates and other confidential information of roughly 769,000 retirees and beneficiaries, taking advantage of a vulnerability in a contracted vendor’s cybersecurity system.'

Apparently CalPERS was also hacked 3 weeks ago and just announced it today?

Not good optics.

More hacking details:

"This includes approximately 3.5 million Oregon driver license holders; roughly six million Louisiana residents; some 770,00 members of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System; between 2.5 and 2.7 million Genworth Finance clients; approximately 1.5 million customers of insurance provider Wilton Reassurance; more than 170,000 beneficiaries of the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System; and more than half a million Talcott Resolution customers.

Callow tells TechCrunch that the mass-hacks include U.S. educational non-profit National Student Clearinghouse, which could be a “potentially significant” breach in terms of numbers. The organization, which began notifying schools of the data breach, works with 3,600 colleges and universities and 22,000 high schools."
