US States Hit by Massive Cyberattacks, Millions at Risk

Millions of Americans are at risk of identity theft due to a massive cyberattack on the file-transfer program MOVEit, affecting numerous firms, federal and state agencies, and universities. The Louisiana and Oregon DMVs have confirmed that driver's license data of millions of residents may have been compromised. The Russian hacker group Clop has claimed responsibility for the attack, but there is no record of the stolen data being sold or released. To protect themselves, individuals are advised to monitor their accounts, place a fraud alert, check their credit reports, freeze their credit, be cautious of phishing attempts, enable two-factor authentication, and invest in identity theft protection.
