" Ransomware hackers stole Social Security numbers, financial 
information and more during a recent cyberattack on Union County in 
Ohio.

The county government began sending out breach notifications to 45,487 
local residents and county employees this week. The letters say 
ransomware was detected on the county’s network on May 18, prompting 
officials to hire cybersecurity experts and notify federal law 
enforcement agencies.

The hackers stole documents that had names, Social Security numbers, 
driver’s license numbers, financial account information, fingerprint 
data, medical information, passport numbers and more."
