The theft of The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) was attributed to the hacktivist organisation SiegedSec, which also released stolen HR data.
The hacktivist collective declared on BreachForums and its Telegram Channel that it has obtained access to hundreds of thousands of users', workers', and public data at Idaho National Laboratory.
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has now acknowledged the data leak and stated that around 45,000 people were affected by the security problem.
For a full year, Idaho National Laboratory is providing free access to Experian IdentityWorksSM to all who are affected.
