Medicaid Hack Update: 500,000 Records and 280,000 SSNs Stolen

An anonymous reader writes "Utah's Medicaid hack estimate has grown a second time. This time we have gone from over 180,000 Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Plan (CHIP) recipients having their personal information stolen to a grand total of 780,000. More specifically, the state now says approximately 500,000 victims had sensitive personal information stolen and 280,000 victims had their Social Security numbers (SSNs) compromised."

Almost all US citizens over 65 are on Medicare, which is not the same as Medicaid. Some elderly are on both Medicare and Medicaid, but most are not.
