Medicaid Hack Update: 500,000 Records and 280,000 SSNs Stolen 64
An anonymous reader writes "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 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 and 280,000 victims had their Social Security numbers (SSNs) compromised."

do it like they do in Luxembourg: arrest anybody who talks about the breach [news.rtl.lu]. After a while there will be nobody left that knows about it. Case closed!
Yeah, but that's Luxembourg. Arrest like 5 people and you've arrested almost a quarter of the population. A lot harder to do that in the US.
