The Idaho Department of Labor Accounts Hacked

The Idaho Department of Labor says about 170,000 current and past job-seeker accounts have been compromised by hackers.

The hackers may have been able to view personal information like names, Social Security numbers and dates of birth. The Department of Labor is notifying the people whose account information may have been compromised by email or regular mail.

IdahoWorks users whose accounts may have been compromised are being advised to put a fraud alert on their credit reports and let police know if they notice any suspicious activity.
