State officials are warning South Carolina taxpayers that 3.6 million Social Security numbers and other personal data was exposed in a recent attack on Department of Revenue servers. Anyone who filed a state return since 1998 are asked to call (866) 578-5422 or visit protectmyid.com/scdor. The state is providing a year of credit monitoring and identity theft protection to anyone impacted by the breach. State employees learned of the breach on Oct. 10 and installed surveillance tools to catch the hacker, whose access was shut down 10 days later.
