A state agency's website has been hacked and millions of social security numbers and credit and debit card numbers belonging to approximately 77 percent of South Carolina residents have been compromised.

Governor Nikki Haley, SLED chief Mark Keel, and others gathered at SLED headquarter Friday afternoon to talk about the breach and how residents can take immediate steps to protect themselves against identity-theft.

"This is not a good day for South Carolina," said Governor Nikki Haley. "South Carolina has come under attack by an international hacker."


State officials revealed Friday that someone in a foreign country gained access to the South Carolina Department of Revenue's website and a server was breached for the first time in late August. 387,000 credit and debit card numbers and 3.6 million social security numbers, all unencrypted, have been exposed.

I am more than pissed. I was going to post this in the SC forum until it hit me some people on DU may have lived here during the years in question.

My guess she is also lying about the date of the hacking. No call it a strong gut feeling.
