$200,000 suggested for SCDOR hacking compensation fund

Andrew Shain reports:

South Carolina should set aside $200,000 next year for a fund to compensate victims of the massive computer hacking at the S.C. Department of Revenue, state Sen. Vincent Sheheen and state Treasurer Curtis Loftis proposed Tuesday.

The fund would be administered like the state’s unclaimed property operation, headed by the treasurer’s office. Victims would submit forms saying they lost money from the theft of their personal information last year.
