Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency Data Breach (2016)

Private information stored in a state computer system for unemployment benefits recipients was potentially exposed to unauthorized viewers after a software update inadvertently caused a system glitch that could have affected nearly 1.9 million individuals, state officials said Friday. The Social Security numbers and names of up to 1.87 million people could have been accessed, but the exact number is being investigated, according to the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget.
