"State officials said hundreds of thousands of Rhode Island residents could be affected by a cyberattack on the state's online portal for social services, with a 'high probability' that personally identifiable information was breached."
"The attack targeted RIBridges, which Rhode Island residents use to apply for and access programs such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)."
"McKee's office said 'any individual who has received or applied for health coverage and/or health and human services programs or benefits could be impacted by this leak.'"
"At a press conference Friday, state's chief digital officer Brian Tardiff said cybercriminals claiming responsibility for the attack have threatened to release the data unless they receive a payment."
