Article

The article I read was about a hack on the SBA online portal for disaster loan assistance for small businesses.  Financial information, insurance, citizenship, household size, and marital state were leaked. Names, addresses, birth dates, and social security numbers were also leaked. They have offered a year of credit monitoring for those effected. The hackers were not caught.
