FEMA Exposes PII for Millions of Hurricane, Wildfire Survivors

Federal Emergency Management Agency overshared personal information of 2.3 million survivors of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and the California wildfires in 2017. The contractor with whom it shared the data has a vulnerable, unpatched network. FEMA says it has taken action to destroy the previously shared PII and sanitize the contractor s systems. The estimated completion date for total remediation of the issue is June 30, 2020. California Senator Kamala Harris has called for testimony into how the incident happened.
