On Christmas Eve, a cyberattack targeting the Ohio Lottery resulted in the exposure of personal data belonging to 538,959 individuals. The organization is notifying the impacted people.

Attackers gained access to names or other personal identifiers in combination with Social Security Numbers of the impacted individuals.

“On or about December 24, 2023, the Ohio Lottery detected unauthorized access to our internal office network as a result of a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the exposure of the data we maintain. The incident did not impact the gaming network,” reads the notice of data breach sent to the impacted individuals.
