Idaho National Laboratory experienced a massive data breach on Sunday night, leading to the leak of employee addresses, Social Security numbers, bank account information and much more.
INL media spokesperson Lori McNamara tells EastIdahoNews.com the breach is being investigated and federal law enforcement are involved.
“Earlier this morning, Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach, affecting the servers supporting its Oracle HCM system, which supports its Human Resources applications. INL has taken immediate action to protect employee data,” says McNamara. “INL has been in touch with federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency to investigate the extent of data impacted in this incident.”
According to INL, more information will be shared as the situation progresses.
EastIdahoNews.com was able to download and view the hacked information. We have been able to confirm the authenticity of the leaked information from several employees. The information impacts thousands of local workers.
A politically-motivated hacking group has claimed responsibility for the data breach on various social media platforms. EastIdahoNews.com is not naming the group, due to the nature of the sensitive information, which is now publicly available.
