New York’s Department of Financial Services (DFS) warns of an ongoing series of attacks resulting in the theft of personal information belonging to hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. The attacks fuel an increasingly large fraud campaign claiming pandemic and unemployment benefits using the stolen nonpublic information. The NPI stolen by the attackers behind this campaign includes consumers’ name, date of birth, address information, driver’s license number, vehicle make, vehicle model, vehicle identification number (VIN), and household members’ associated data.
