State officials said hundreds of thousands of Rhode Island residents could be affected by a cyberattack on the state\u2019s online portal for social<\/a> services, with a \u201chigh probability\u201d that\u00a0 personally identifiable information was breached.<\/p>\n

According to an update<\/a> from Governor Dan McKee\u2019s office, the attack targeted RIBridges, which Rhode Island residents use to app<\/a>ly for and access programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).<\/p>\n

The attack also targeted the Healthsource RI insurance marketplace. McKee\u2019s office said \u201cany individual who has received or applied for health coverage and\/or health and human services programs or benefits could be impacted by this leak.\u201d<\/p>\n

The information accessed by the cyberattackers could include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and banking information.<\/p>\n

The RIBridges system is operated by Deloitte, which first notified the state of a potential cyberattack on December 5 \u2014 but McKee\u2019s office said it wasn\u2019t clear then that sensitive information had been breached. On Friday, December 13, Deloitte confirmed that there was \u201cmalicious code\u201d in the system and worked with the state to \u201cproactively\u201d take the system down to address the threat.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the state said Rhode Island residents can still use paper applications to apply for benefits.<\/p>\n

The New York Times reports<\/a> that at a press conference Friday, state\u2019s chief digital officer Brian Tardiff said cybercriminals claiming responsibility for the attack have threatened to release the data unless they receive a payment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
