Ransomware hackers accessed systems used by Illinois government agencies for a few hours May 31, according to the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, which said Friday it’s not clear what information was accessed or affected but that they expect it to end up affecting a “large number” of people.
Federal authorities have attributed the attack to the CL0P Ransomware Gang, which also went after major companies around the world last month. CL0P hackers gained access to MOVEit software, getting in to Illinois’ network for about three hours, officials said.
