SC: Data breach in Oconee Co. causes employee pay issues

Posted on September 16, 2016 by Dissent

WSPA reports:

230 Oconee County employees did not get money deposited into their bank accounts after a data breach involving the payroll service the county uses.

The Sheriff’s Office says they do not have an exact dollar amount from the breach but they are working with SLED and the FBI to investigate.

The county is also working with the company providing payroll services to find the source of the breach.

Read more on WSPA. It would have been nice if they named the payroll service. I’ve tweeted an inquiry to them to see if we can find out.
