Hackers Hit Illinois Web Server

The FBI are investigating a hack attack against an Illinois state web server that held license information on about 300,000 people with personal information on addresses, birth dates, social security numbers and other personal I.D. according to InformationWeek.

The license holders and those that applied for licenses was for loan origination in the state of Illinois. Initially it was thought to be an inside job but now evidence is pointing to an outside attack.

Dallas Computer Repair remains firm about everyone protecting their computers and being vigilent against outside attacks. Use updated antivirus protection, updated firewall protection and updated spyware and adware protection.
