Arizona courts say hackers stole info on more than 1.3 million people

A cyberattack on Arizona's court system resulted in the theft of personal information for over 1.3 million people. The breach occurred after a court employee clicked a malicious link in an email, according to the Winnipeg Free Press.

The hackers were able to access the Fines/Fees and Restitution Enforcement (FARE) Program, a statewide program that helps the court collect outstanding debts tied to traffic and criminal violations, as reported by The Record.

The stolen information includes 30,000 orders of protection and 150,000 reports from a foster care board, as reported by Techmeme, citing Associated Press.
