The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta announced this week that it had found Deanne Dee Gayle Watrich, an emergency room doctor and a St. Albert resident, to be guilty of unprofessional conduct. Watrich had previously admitted to unprofessional conduct at a hearing tribunal held by the college last November. Specifically, the tribunal wrote in its ruling, Watrich accessed the electronic health records of three people 21 times between Aug. 5, 2009, and May 2, 2010, without having a patient/physician relationship with those people. Its okay for doctors to access patient records if they are actually treating those patients, explained college spokesperson Kelly Eby, but not otherwise. She accessed the electronic health records of three people who she was not treating, she said. Its an invasion of privacy. It also violates the provincial Health Professions Act and Health Information Act, and goes against the Canadian Medical Associations Code of Ethics and the colleges standards of practice. Watrichs case started when the provincial privacy commission began investigating a complaint from a man who had requested an Alberta Netcare log. The log showed that nine doctors, none of whom were treating him, had accessed his electronic health records. He alleged that Watrich might be the one responsible. The man listed his partner and mother as co-complainants, both of whom had their files accessed by three other doctors. Watrich admitted to the privacy commissioner and to the tribunal that she was responsible for accessing these restricted records using the logins of 12 other doctors. On 21 occasions, the tribunal heard, Watrich used computers in the emergency department of the Edmonton Misericordia Hospital to access these records after the previous user had not logged out, and did so knowing that her personal ID would not show up in the computers logs as a result. Watrich was in a personal relationship with one of the complainants when she accessed some of the records, the tribunal found, and in a relationship with the former spouse of said complainant when she accessed others. I dont know why I logged in to their Netcare and why I did it so many times, Watrich said at the hearing last November. It didnt actually give me any power. It didn't give me anything. In retrospect, she believed accessing these records might have been a way for her to cope with the difficult divorce and child-custody proceedings her partner was going through at the time. Watrich told the tribunal that she was humiliated and embarrassed by her actions and deeply disappointed in (herself). She had apologized to the complainants, and paid a significant monetary settlement to them in a related lawsuit. Covenant Health (which runs the Misericordia) had also put a reprimand on her record. Even though Watrich didnt disclose any of the information she accessed, the tribunal ruled, her actions were done repeatedly and with intent to deceive, and impugned the reputation of her fellow physicians.;" | |

There are indications that the same attack methods may have been used in this intrusion as with breaches at Anthem and Premera, incidents that collectively involved data on more than 90 million Americans. On May 20, 2015, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) announced that the company has been the target of a sophisticated cyberattack. The attackers gained limited, unauthorized access to a single CareFirst database. This was discovered as a part of the company's ongoing Information Technology (IT) security efforts in the wake of recent cyberattacks on health insurers. CareFirst engaged Mandiant __ one of the world's leading cybersecurity firms __ to conduct an end-to-end examination of its IT environment. This review included multiple, comprehensive scans of the CareFirst's IT systems for any evidence of a cyberattack. The review determined that in June 2014 cyberattackers gained access to a single database in which CareFirst stores data that members and other individuals enter to access CareFirst's websites and online services. Mandiant completed its review and found no indication of any other prior or subsequent attack or evidence that other personal information was accessed. Evidence suggests the attackers could have potentially acquired member-created user names created by individuals to access CareFirst's website, as well as members' names, birth dates, email addresses and subscriber identification number. However, CareFirst user names must be used in conjunction with a member-created password to gain access to underlying member data through CareFirst's website. The database in question did not include these passwords because they are fully encrypted and stored in a separate system as a safeguard against such attacks. The database accessed by attackers contained no member Social Security numbers, medical claims, employment, credit card, or financial information. ""We deeply regret the concern this attack may cause"", said CareFirst President and CEO Chet Burrell. ""We are making sure those affected understand the extent of the attack __ and what information was and was not affected. Even though the information in question would be of limited use to an attacker, we want to protect our members from any potential use of their information and will be offering free credit monitoring and identity theft protection for those affected for two years."" Approximately 1.1 million current and former CareFirst members and individuals who do business with CareFirst online who registered to use CareFirst's websites prior to June 20, 2014 are affected by this event. All affected members will receive a letter from CareFirst offering two free years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection. The letters will contain an activation code and you must have the letter to enroll in the offered protections. Out of an abundance of caution, CareFirst has blocked member access to these accounts and will request that members create new user names and passwords.;" | |

The Manhattan headquarters of JPMorgan Chase, which securities filings revealed was attacked by hackers over the summer. Documents: JPMorgans S.E.C. Filing Updated, 9:03 p.m. | A cyberattack this summer on JPMorgan Chase compromised the accounts of 76 million households and seven million small businesses, a tally that dwarfs previous estimates by the bank and puts the intrusion among the largest ever. The details of the breach disclosed in a securities filing on Thursday emerge at a time when consumer confidence in the digital operations of corporate America has already been shaken. Target, Home Depot and a number of other retailers have sustained major data breaches. Last year, the information of 40 million cardholders and 70 million others were compromised at Target, while an attack at Home Depot in September affected 56 million cards. But unlike retailers, JPMorgan, as the largest bank in the nation, has financial information in its computer systems that goes beyond customers credit card details and potentially includes more sensitive data. Weve migrated so much of our economy to computer networks because they are faster and more efficient, but there are side effects, said Dan Kaminsky, a researcher who works as chief scientist at White Ops, a security company. Until just a few weeks ago, executives at JPMorgan said they believed that only one million accounts were affected, according to several people with knowledge of the attacks. As the severity of the intrusion which began in June but was not discovered until July became more clear in recent days, bank executives scrambled for the second time in three months to contain the fallout and to reassure skittish customers that no money had been taken and that their financial information remained secure. The hackers appeared to have obtained a list of the applications and programs that run on JPMorgans computers a road map of sorts which they could crosscheck with known vulnerabilities in each program and web application, in search of an entry point back into the banks systems, according to several people with knowledge of the results of the banks forensics investigation, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity. Operating overseas, the hackers gained access to the names, addresses, phone numbers and emails of JPMorgan account holders. In its regulatory filing on Thursday, JPMorgan said that there was no evidence that account information, including passwords or Social Security numbers, had been taken. The bank also noted that there was no evidence of fraud involving the use of customer information. Still, until the JPMorgan breach surfaced in July, banks were viewed as relatively safe from online assaults because of their investment in defenses and trained security staff. Most previous breaches at banks have involved stealing personal identification numbers for A.T.M. accounts, not burrowing deep into the internal workings of a banks computer systems. Even if no customer financial information was taken, the apparent breadth and depth of the JPMorgan attack shows how vulnerable Wall Street institutions are to cybercrime. In 2011, hackers broke into the systems of the Nasdaq stock market, but did not penetrate the part of the system that handles trades. Jamie Dimon, JPMorgans chairman and chief executive, has acknowledged the growing digital threat. In his annual letter to shareholders, Mr. Dimon said, Were making good progress on these and other efforts, but cyberattacks are growing every day in strength and velocity across the globe. Even though the bank has fortified its defenses against the attacks, Mr. Dimon wrote, the battle is continual and likely never-ending. On Thursday, some lawmakers weighed in. Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts and a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, said the data breach at JPMorgan Chase is yet another example of how Americans most sensitive personal information is in danger. Hackers drilled deep into the banks vast computer systems, reaching more than 90 servers, the people with knowledge of the investigation said. As they analyze the contours of the breach, investigators in law enforcement remain puzzled, partly because there is no evidence that the attackers looted any money from customer accounts. That lack of any apparent profit motive has generated speculation among the law enforcement officials and security experts that the hackers, which some thought to be from Russia and may have been sponsored by elements of the Russian government, the people with knowledge of the investigation said. By the time the banks security team discovered the breach in late July, hackers had already obtained the highest level of administrative privilege to dozens of the banks computer servers, according to the people with knowledge of the investigation. It is still unclear how hackers managed to gain such deep access. The people with knowledge of the investigation said it would take months for the bank to swap out its programs and applications and renegotiate licensing deals with its technology suppliers, possibly giving the hackers time to mine the banks systems for unpatched, or undiscovered, vulnerabilities that would allow them re-entry into JPMorgans systems. Beyond its disclosures, JPMorgan did not comment on what its investigation had found. Kristin Lemkau, a JPMorgan spokeswoman, said that describing the banks breach as among the largest was comparing apples and oranges. Preparing for the disclosure on Thursday, JPMorgan retained the law firm WilmerHale to help with its regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, people with knowledge of the matter said. Earlier on Thursday, some executives Barry Sommers, the chief executive of Chases consumer bank flew back to New York from Naples, Fla., where they had convened for a leadership conference, these people said. The initial discovery of the hack sent chills down Wall Street and prompted an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The bank was also forced to update its regulators, including the Federal Reserve, on the extent of the breach. Faced with the rising threat of online crime, JPMorgan has said it plans to spend $250 million on digital security annually, but had been losing many of its security staff to other banks over the last year, with others expected to leave soon.;" | |

This email was not sent by Mayfield. Mayfield notified recipients of the malicious email as soon as possible that same day, posted the information prominently on its website home page, and updated recipients again on February 25 with recommendations for remedy. Mayfield has completed its review and is issuing a final communication to all recipients by letter and also by distributing a press release of the incident and Mayfield's response since that time. As previously reported on WCPO TV in February, the email was generated by an unknown, unauthorized person who accessed the database of an outside vendor. This vendor sends, via email, newsletters, educational information, invitations, announcements, and other information about Mayfield to patients, business associates, event attendees, website contacts and other friends of Mayfield. Recipients of the fraudulent email who clicked on an attachment within it potentially triggered a download of a ransomware virus. According to Thomas Rosenberger, Vice President of Communications, ""The vendor receives only email addresses from Mayfield. No other health or financial information is shared. In this incident, no Mayfield systems were involved, and no patient health or financial information was compromised. Rosenberger added, ""Mayfield's first priority is always the well-being of our patients. Once we learned of the incident, we immediately communicated with recipients by email, by social media, and on our website, including both notification and instructions on how to remove the virus."" The communication included a free download of software to remove the malware. Mayfield has taken several steps to ensure that an incident like this does not happen again. These include working with the vendor's compliance office to understand what transpired, locking the account so it cannot be accessed, and working with a computer virus protection service to determine if the email and/or its attachment contained a virus. Mayfield has reviewed its policies and procedures to ensure that all patient information is secure. ""We are continuously monitoring the situation,"" Rosenberger said. ""With all of the action taken to date, we do not believe that recipients of the fraudulent email need to take any additional steps at this time.""

""There is no indication that your information was viewed or misused by these lenders or their vendors. And your information was not visible to other business clients applying for loans, or to the public, at any time,"" BofA said.

Applicants were part of a nationwide pool, with customers in multiple states likely affected. BofA did not specify which states. A spokesperson described it as a ""small number"" of clients. The bank said the data breach did not affect the applications' submission to the SBA. It asked the SBA to remove the visible information that same day, according to the filing. BofA said it also conducted internal investigations. The spokesperson declined to provide further details.

Ars was among the millions of sites using the OpenSSL library, and that means we too were bitten by this extraordinarily nasty bug. By mid-morning Tuesday, Ars engineers already updated OpenSSL and revoked and replaced our site's old TLS certificate. That effectively plugged the hole created by the vulnerability. By installing the OpenSSL update, attackers could no longer siphon sensitive data out of our server memory. And although there's no evidence the private encryption key for Ars' previous TLS certificate was compromised, the replacement ensured no one could impersonate the site in the event hackers obtained the key. With Ars servers fully updated, it's time to turn our attention to the next phase of recovery. In the hours immediately following the public disclosure of the so-called Heartbleed vulnerability, several readers reported their Ars accounts were hijacked by people who exploited the bug and obtained other readers' account passwords. There's no way of knowing if compromises happened earlier than that. Ars has no evidence such hacks did occur, but two years is a long time. There's simply no way of ruling out the possibility. It's for this reason that Ars strongly recommends all readers change their account passwords. A password change is especially urgent for people who logged in between Monday evening and mid morning on Tuesday. It's also particularly important for anyone who used their Ars password to protect accounts on other sites or anyone whose Ars accounts contained private messages of a sensitive nature. But again, out of an abundance of caution, Ars strongly urges all users to reset their pass codes. As always, security-conscious readers should choose unique, randomly generated passwords at least nine characters long that contain upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. For a refresher on good password hygiene, see Ars senior IT reporter Jon Brodkin's The secret to online safety: Lies, random characters, and a password manager.;" | |

Legal experts say the case is a reminder to healthcare entities and their business associates to conduct background checks on prospective employees and take other measures to prevent and detect breaches involving insiders. In an Oct. 28 statement, the U.S. Department of Justice said a federal grand jury on Oct. 27 indicted Sherice Joan Williams, of North Las Vegas, on one count of illegal use and disclosure of patient health information and one count of aggravated identity theft. Williams pleaded not guilty to the charges. The FBI handled the investigation in collaboration with local police. Prosecutors say Williams, between about Dec. 1, 2014, and Jan. 27, 2015, while working as a laboratory technician at an unnamed Las Vegas pediatric cardiology practice, allegedly accessed a patient's information without authorization and then used it to apply for credit cards without the patient's knowledge. Criminal History Previously, Williams was convicted on a felony charge of submitting false Medicaid claims, according to a Nov. 4, 2013, statement from the Nevada's state attorney general's office. She was then sentenced to serve 12 to 48 months in prison and pay about $10,000 in restitution, penalties and costs. In that case, prosecutors alleged that Williams, while working for a North Las Vegas behavioral health services firm, had submitted false documentation for services she never provided to a Medicaid recipient. The investigation found that Williams submitted progress notes and subsequent Medicaid claims for time periods where the Medicaid recipient was not receiving the behavioral health services, according to a statement from the Nevada state attorney general's office. The fraud occurred between February and May 2012. Nevada parole board records indicate that even though Williams was sentenced in November 2013 to serve one to four years for the Medicaid fraud crimes, she was granted parole from a state prison a few weeks later, on Nov. 25, 2013, and then was released from prison on Jan. 22, 2014. Parole was granted because Williams had earned credits while serving another concurrent sentence for a previous fraud-related case, a Nevada parole board spokesman says. Parole records indicate that Williams' parole was subsequently revoked on March 19, 2015, and she is currently serving out her Medicaid fraud sentence, the spokesman says. Crane Pomerantz, assistant U.S. Attorney in the Nevada district who is lead prosecutor in the Williams case, declined to comment on the case or the defendant's previous criminal record, and how that potentially could affect sentencing if Williams is convicted on the new ID theft and criminal HIPAA violations. In a statement, prosecutors note that if convicted, Williams faces up to 10 years in prison on the health information charge and a minimum of two years consecutive on the aggravated identity theft charge, plus maximum fines of $250,000 on each count. Preventive Measures Healthcare fraud experts say the Williams case is a warning to other healthcare entities and business associates about the need to scrutinize prospective and current workforce members. ""In commentary to the HIPAA Security Rule, the Department of Health and Human Services states that 'the need for and extent of a screening process is normally based on an assessment of risk, cost, benefit, and feasibility as well as other protective measures in place,'"" notes privacy attorney Adam Greene of the law firm David Wright Tremaine. ""Organizations may wish to consider what information individuals will have access to, and what is the risk that they will use that information for their own financial gain, such as for identity theft purposes. This may lead to more focused background checks, with more stringent standards applied to workforce members who will have access to Social Security numbers, credit card numbers and other high-risk information."" While background checks can help vet employees, they're not foolproof, notes privacy attorney Kirk Nahra of the law firm Wiley Rein. ""Background checks are important, and healthcare companies should do them generally, but they aren't perfect,"" he says. ""Insider threats are a real and significant issue. In my personal experience, insider problems are far more likely to lead to actual harm than many external breaches."" Insiders with bad intentions can take exactly what they need for bad purposes, Nahra says. ""This is a consistent and ongoing problem,"" he says. As a result, healthcare organizations must educate their staff on the consequences of inappropriate data access and then monitor their activity, he says. ""People have to know they will get caught and that they will get fired,"" he says. ""But it is hard to balance access to data to get your job done with strong controls and an effective monitoring problem."" The recent attention on major cyberattacks in the healthcare sector should not divert organizations from addressing insider threats, Nahra stresses. ""But sometimes the focus on hackers ... distracts from this current, ongoing, significant problem with insider threats."" ;" | |

The Katikati man's name, address and what his case was about were contained in a letter sent to a Tauranga mother who had applied for legal aid for her daughter. Private details of two other men from outside the region were also sent to the woman about their legal aid applications - the documents relate to legal representation at parole hearings. The woman contacted the Bay of Plenty Times yesterday, speaking on the basis that she was not named. She said she was ""horrified"" to discover the letters among documents sent to her by the Ministry of Justice's Legal Aid Office in Rotorua. The Bay of Plenty Times has sighted the letters. The letter addressed to a Katikati man confirmed his application for legal aid had been granted. The woman who received the documents said she had lodged a legal aid application for her daughter, over a drink-driving case. She learned by letter the application had been declined and put it aside. Last week, she discovered the three other letters. ""If it was just one letter, I probably wouldn't have thought anything more about it but there was three other people's private information and I know if it was me I would want to know my privacy has been breached and someone is held accountable for what's happened. ""I really thought, given all the other recent privacy breaches, government agencies would have upped their game and put in place stricter processes, so things like this don't happen."" The 39-year-old Katikati man at the centre of the blunder said he was ""blown away"" when contacted last night: ""It's come as a huge shock and at the moment I don't know what I can do about the damage this has caused me, but I will be seeking some legal advice, for sure."" The man's lawyer could not be contacted for comment. Porirua-based lawyer Mary More, who represents the other two men, said she would take instructions from her clients before commenting further. The latest case comes after a series of blunders involving privacy breaches by government departments, including Immigration NZ, ACC, the Ministry of Social Development, IRD, Environment Ministry and the Earthquake Commission. Last month an Earthquake Commission claims manager accidentally sent a spreadsheet containing 98,000 claimants' confidential details to an insurance advocate. In October, up to 700 Work and Income self-service kiosks were left unsecured, meaning private information was accessible to anyone who used them. Last night Justice Minister Judith Collins said protection of personal information must be taken seriously: ""We expect all agencies to treat such information carefully and respectfully. However, if someone receives information that is clearly not intended for them, then the appropriate thing to do is to give it back."". Legal Aid Services general manager Michele McCreadie said it appeared a staffer had mistakenly included more than one letter in one envelope. The ministry had been alerted. Labour Party spokeswoman Sue Moroney, also its ACC spokeswoman, said: ""This Government proudly cut back office functions right across the public service and they wonder why privacy breaches and administration mistakes are happening on an almost daily basis."";" | |

There is no evidence that such information has actually been used, but officials are notifying individuals in accordance with California law and so that they can be alert to signs of any possible misuse of their information. The data breach involved unauthorized access to a campus Web server maintained by a unit within UC Berkeley's Division of Equity and Inclusion. The server was used to store information including family financial information submitted by students. This included documents containing Social Security and bank account numbers. Officials sent letters to all affected individuals on April 30. This included about 260 undergraduate students and some former students, as well as about 290 parents and other individuals, generally family members of the notified students. Current students also received emails, sent April 30. Paul Rivers, UC Berkeley's interim chief security officer, emphasized that the campus regrets that this occurred and will be offering those individuals free credit monitoring for a year. They also will receive a resource list to aid them in checking for possible suspicious activity on their accounts. When campus officials learned of the breach on March 14 they immediately removed the server from the network so that it could no longer be accessed. A digital forensics firm was brought in to investigate the matter and determine whether any personally identifiable information was compromised. Once the firm completed that work and confirmed the names of all impacted individuals, the letters were sent. The investigation revealed that the unauthorized access first occurred in December 2014 and that an additional, separate, unauthorized access occurred in February 2015. ;" | |

Two weeks ago today, a line was crossed. Two weeks ago today, Aaron Swartz was killed. Killed because he faced an impossible choice. Killed because he was forced into playing a game he could not win -- a twisted and distorted perversion of justice -- a game where the only winning move was not to play, the hackers stated. Anonymous immediately convened an emergency council to discuss our response to this tragedy. After much heavy-hearted discussion, the decision was upheld to engage the United States Department of Justice and its associated executive branches in a game of a similar nature, a game in which the only winning move is not to play, they added. The hacktivists admitted that the FBI had managed to infiltrate certain elements of Anonymous last year. They say that these infiltrations have resulted in disproportionate prosecutions. However, now theyre determined to show the FBI that it hasn't managed to cripple their infrastructure and demoralize them. They claim to have infiltrated several government-owned websites and obtained valuable information, including the details of a number of warheads. As part of this first phase of OpLastResort, the hackers have published some details of one warhead which is allegedly primed and armed. We have not taken this action lightly, nor without consideration of the possible consequences. Should we be forced to reveal the trigger-key to this warhead, we understand that there will be collateral damage, Anonymous threatened. We appreciate that many who work within the justice system believe in those principles that it has lost, corrupted, or abandoned, that they do not bear the full responsibility for the damages caused by their occupation. It is our hope that this warhead need never be detonated. Currently, the website of the USSC still displays the hacktivists' protest message.;" | |

Douglas Johnson, who represents the 24-year-old plaintiff, told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Allen White that the proposed resolution would remove the county and nurse Shannon Lipham as defendants in the case. The case will proceed against nurse Kristin Ciasulli, who the plaintiff accuses of taking the photo at County-USC Medical Center, and Ciasulli's then- employer, HRN Services Inc., Johnson said. Johnson declined to state the amount of the settlement, but noted it would be public information if the Board of Supervisors approves it. He praised the county's lawyers for working with him toward a resolution of the case, which was filed in October 2014 and identifies the plaintiff only as Jane Doe. ""I absolutely think it was the right thing to do and I was impressed with the compassion they showed for my client,"" Johnson said. During today's hearing, the judge said Johnson needs to shore up only one of the four allegations against HRN Services intentional infliction of emotional distress. Johnson said the problem with the complaint can be easily fixed. The attorney also said he was pleased that the judge found the details behind the other three allegations negligent infliction of emotional distress, intrusion upon seclusion and negligent training, supervision and retention of an employee were sufficient, and that White rejected a defense argument that his client didn't have an expectation of privacy in the large emergency room where her unauthorized photo was taken. According to the complaint, the woman was admitted to the county-run hospital in June 2011 after trying to kill herself by thrusting pencils into her eyes. She survived, but was blinded. Lipham was a relief pool nurse employed by the county who also was assigned to care for the plaintiff, according to Doe's court papers, which say Lipham acknowledged in a June deposition that she sent the photograph to her niece, who in turn gave it to a man named Joshua Shivers, who the plaintiff's attorneys allege posted the photo. Ciasulli admitted during a deposition that she took a photo of the injured plaintiff and says she did so as a ""teaching tool."" She says she later deleted the image and that it was not the photo that turned up on the Internet. Up to a half-dozen other medical workers took similar images of the plaintiff when the injured La Canada Flintridge resident was brought into the County-USC Medical Center emergency room, according to Ciasulli. Ciasulli worked at the time for HRN Services, which supplies hospitals with temporary and supplemental healthcare employees. Shivers uploaded the image in July 2014 onto ""one of the most visited shock websites in the world,"" the suit says. The same day, he took credit for his actions on a social networking site, saying, ""I finally made it in life. Please check out my shiz,"" and included a link to the photo, according to the complaint. A week later, he placed the same photo onto a ""popular entertainment and social media website,"" according to the plaintiff's attorney, who says it has received more than 192,000 Internet views. Ciasulli said she did not send a copy of the photo she took to Lipham.

In an email, Surgeon General Vice Adm. Vivek H. Murthy told ""commissioned corps"" employees of the Public Health Service that information, including their names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers, ""may have been accessed by unauthenticated users"" who hacked the agency's personnel system. ""Based on our investigation, affected individuals are those served by this website-based system: current, retired, and former Commissioned Corps officers and their dependents,"" the email said. The commissioned corps is a cadre of about 6,600 medical professionals including physicians, nurses, dentists, rehabilitation therapists, pharmacists, researchers and more reporting to the Surgeon General. They are involved in health-care delivery to underserved and vulnerable populations, disease control and prevention, food and drug regulation, and disaster response. Counting retirees, former employees and family members would bring the total of affected people much higher, although neither the email nor a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, the parent agency of the PHS, specified a figure. The spokesman said the agency learned Sept. 20 that unauthenticated users could access a system used for payroll, leave, time, attendance and other personnel functions. The portal site has been disabled and will remain down while the investigation continues, although the Sept. 30 payroll run was unaffected, the email said. ""Teams across the Department and across government are working to learn as much as we can as quickly as we can, and to further improve our systems to prevent this type of issue in the future. . . . Next steps could include offering identity protection services to affected individuals,"" said the email, co-signed by HHS Acting Assistant Secretary for Health Karen B. DeSalvo. The email promises further information as it becomes available and offers instructions on how to request a free credit report and how to report unusual activity or potential errors on a credit report. The hack is the latest in a long line of breaches of federal employee records that have targeted individual agencies, including the Energy Department and the U.S. Postal Service, as well as the Thrift Savings Plan, the 401(k)-style retirement savings program for federal employees. The largest breaches, involving about 22 million people combined, hit two separate databases of the Office of Personnel Management. Those involved personnel records of current and former federal employees plus persons on whom the government had conducted background investigations, for security clearance or other reasons, since about 2000. That resulted in a widespread offer of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services for employees, and the creation of a new office to oversee background checks, along with boosted cyberdefenses.;" | |

Allen would then recruit people to cash the new checks. Allen recruited nine individuals who were paid between $20 and $200 to cash the checks. The balances of approximately $30,000 received from the IRS was split between Johnson and Allen. ;" | |

The information was released on Tuesday on Pastebin by a self-proclaimed Egyptian hacker named ""ViruS_HimA."" The hacker, who claimed the database accessed holds more than 150,000 records, posted links to several websites hosting a text file with 230 records. ""We have seen the claim and are investigating,"" said Wiebke Lips, senior manager with Adobe's corporate communications. The hacker only released records with email addresses ending in ""adobe.com,"" "".mil"" and "".gov."" A look at the 230 records showed the full names, titles, organizations, email addresses, usernames and encrypted passwords of users in a variety of U.S. government agencies, including the departments of Transportation and Homeland Security, the U.S. State Department, the Federal Aviation Administration and state-level agencies, among others. The published passwords are MD5 hashes, or cryptographic representations, of the actual plain-text passwords. It's a good security practice to only store hashes rather than the plain-text passwords, but those hashes can be converted back to their original state using free password-cracking tools and enough computing power. Shorter passwords are easier to crack, especially if they contain no special characters and are, for example, just a word composed of lower-case letters. Many MD5 hashes that have already been reversed are available in lists freely available on the internet. Some of the MD5 hashes released in the text file revealed simple passwords. That's particularly dangerous given that people tend to reuse passwords for other services. Hackers will typically try to use stolen credentials on sites such as Facebook and Twitter to see if they're valid. Given that the data released on Tuesday includes names and organizations, hackers could act fast in an attempt to steal other information. An email request for an interview with ViruS_HimA wasn't immediately returned. The hacker wrote there's another data leak soon to be released from Yahoo. ;" | |
