Kansas Identity Theft Spike Could Be Linked to Data Breach
The state with the highest identity theft rate in the country may have been impacted by a Department of Labor data breach.
According to new data released by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the reported rate of identity theft in Kansas in 2020 was higher than that of any other state and more than three times greater than the national average.
Last year, 43,211 Kansans informed the FTC that someone had stolen or attempted to steal their identity, a year-on-year increase of 1,802%.
KWCH reports that Kansas lawmakers are investigating the possibility of a connection between the surge in identity theft and an alleged data breach at the Kansas Department of Labor (KDOL).
Actually the word hack best describes the incompetent clowns running this operation.
Folks like this have all these great ideas about how government can help people, but when it comes to actually competently doing it, they don t have a clue.
Reminds you of the original ObamaCare roll-out.
