Data Breach Hits 2.5 Million Disaster Survivors
Political Wire by Taegan Goddard

The Federal Emergency Management Agency shared personal addresses and banking information of more than 2 million U.S. disaster survivors in what the agency acknowledged Friday was a “major privacy incident,” the Washington Post reports.

“The data breach, discovered recently and the subject of a report by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, occurred when the agency shared sensitive, personally identifiable information of disaster survivors who used FEMA’S Transitional Sheltering Assistance program, according to officials at Federal Emergency Management Agency. Those affected included the victims of California wildfires in 2017 and hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria.”
