[ElNono]

"Utah's Medicaid hack estimate has grown a second time. This time we have gone from over 180,000 Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) recipients (http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/04/08/2353208/medicaid-hacked-over-181000-records-and-25000-ssns-stolen) having their personal information stolen to a grand total of 780,000. More specifically, the state now says approximately 500,000 victims had sensitive personal information stolen (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/medicaid-hack-update-500000-records-and-280000-ssns-stolen/11444) and 280,000 victims had their Social Security numbers (SSNs) compromised."
