Posted on August 10, 2016 by Dissent

WATE reports:

Anderson County government officials and the sheriff’s office are investigating a possible computer security breach.

County Law Director Jay Yeager sent a memo to all elected officials, school system employees, school board members, veterans service members and county contractors that there had been a “potential system-wide breach” of the main courthouse server. Yeager says about 1,800 people have been notified they may be affected.

While the extent of the possible breach is not yet known, it could include information like Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, payroll information, bank accounts, routing numbers and more.
