In breach notification documents filed in multiple states, the city said 470,060 people had sensitive data accessed by hackers who breached government systems during a cyberattack in November 2023. More than a year after a cyberattack on the government of Long Beach, California, the city is informing residents that information on nearly half a million people was leaked. The information stolen includes Social Security numbers, financial account information, credit and debit card numbers, biometric information, medical data, driver’s license numbers, passports, tax data and more. At the time of the incident, the city said emergency services were not impacted but some government systems were taken offline in response to the attack. We take the security of information very seriously and needed to be sure we were confident in the results of the investigation before making any notifications,” the city said. The city filed breach notifications in Maine, Oregon, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Texas, California and several other states. City officials warned residents that they “may experience some delays with systems and services” and issued a proclamation of emergency. The city said it conducted an “extensive” forensic investigation and “manual document review” that lasted until March 18, 2025. Victims who had Social Security numbers leaked are being offered one year of identity protection services. Before moving back to New York City, he worked for news outlets in South Africa, Jordan and Cambodia.
