500,000 Impacted by Ohio Lottery Ransomware Attack
10-May-24
The Ohio Lottery cyberattack conducted by the DragonForce ransomware group has impacted more than 500,000 individuals. The incident came to light in late December of 2023 when the Ohio Lottery announced that it had shut down some of its systems in an attempt to contain the breach. The hackers took credit for the attack around the same time. They have since shared over 90 GB of files (in .bak backup format), which they claim to have stolen from the Ohio Lottery. The hackers say that they have access to over 1.5 million records of employee and player information, including names, email and postal addresses, winnings, dates of birth, and social security numbers.
