The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) disclosed a data breach that affects 100,000 taxpayers. The IRS detected 200,000 attempts by the attackers to access information via the “Get Transcript” application. The Get Transcript application has been shutdown and will remain offline until it can be properly secured. The incident was discovered late last week, and the IRS will be sending letters to all accounts accessed directly or where access was attempted. Of those letters that will be sent via the US Postal Service (USPS) will include an offer for one year of credit monitoring.”]
