A cyberattack on the RIBridges system, which manages critical social service applications in Rhode Island, poses a significant risk of sensitive data theft, impacting potentially thousands.
Deloitte informed Rhode Island of a major security threat on December 13, with the potential breach affecting those who applied for or received health coverage and social services.
The data likely compromised includes personal information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and some banking details, although confirmation is ongoing.
Residents are currently encouraged to apply for benefits using paper applications while the RIBridges online portal undergoes remediation due to this significant cyber threat.
