Update: Archdiocese of Seattle data breach appears to target Oregon Catholics

Posted on April 2, 2014 by Dissent

KGW reports:

A data breach at the Archdiocese of Seattle that led to rampant tax fraud appears to have spread to Oregon.

The Archdiocese of Portland said hackers have stolen Social Security numbers from Catholic Church employees and volunteers in order to file false tax returns and claim the refund.

So far, 105 Catholic Oregonians have been impacted.
