Thousands unemployment applications were compromised in Florida
In Ohio, Illinois and Colorado, thousands who applied for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, or PUA, a type of unemployment newly available to the self-employed and gig workers, received notice that their personal information, including social security numbers, addresses, names and how much they were receiving in benefits, was exposed to other users.
A flaw in the system allowed three dozen applicants across to view the information of thousands. According to a spokesperson for the consulting firm, Deloitte halted the unauthorized access within an hour in each case.
