Breach puts information in peril http://newsok.com/article/3110406/1187986334 Someone hacked into computers at three Oklahoma law enforcement agencies and may have stolen private information meant only for police use, the state Department of Public Safety announced Friday. Details of the extent of the security compromise remained sketchy Friday, but officials said only the Elk City and Eufaula police departments and the Kiowa County Sheriff Department were affected. The Department of Public Safety is urging anyone who has had contact with those agencies to check for any suspicious charges on credit cards or to obtain a credit report as soon as possible. Even people pulled over for a traffic stop but not given a ticket could be at risk. "Because this is an ongoing investigation, we are not able to release a lot of information,” said Capt. Chris West, spokesman for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. ... _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tenable Network Security offers data leakage and compliance monitoring solutions for large and small networks.
