Data leak of 237,000 civil servants in the USA

The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) suffered a data breach that exposed the personal information of 237,000 current and former federal government employees.

This was reported by Reuters, Ukrinform reports.

The hack involved TRANServe, a pass benefits processing system that compensates government employees for some travel expenses.

It is not yet clear whether this information is used for criminal purposes.

The US Department of Transportation and Communications said the leak did not affect the transportation security system.

It is unknown who might be responsible for the hack.

USDOT is investigating the attack and has blocked access to the migration benefits system until it can be secured and restored.

As reported, previously secret documents were leaked on the social network, which allegedly relates to the plans of the US and NATO for the planned counterattack of the Armed Forces.

On April 13, 21-year-old US Air Force officer Jack Teixeira was arrested and charged with obtaining, hiding and transmitting classified information.
