Cybercriminals hit jackpot as 500k+ Ohio Lottery lovers lose out on their personal data

Ohio Lottery disclosed a Christmas Eve security breach that exposed roughly 538,959 individuals' names and Social Security numbers; the state says gaming systems were unaffected, has offered 12 months of credit monitoring, and has not attributed the attack, while the DragonForce ransomware group claimed responsibility and alleged a larger dataset possibly including dates of birth and using double-extortion tactics.
