SC Department of Revenue hacking: What’s known, not known 3 weeks later

As we try to find out what has happened, and who it has happened to, in the SC Department of Revenue cyber hacking cases the details have been painfully slow in coming to light.

State officials have drifted into basic radio silence with no new press conferences since the initial flurry near the beginning of November.  And while everyone seems to have calmed down since the initial panic, the whole cyber hacking  affair seems to have fallen into something of a stasis.  Not much new has occurred since the announcement of ProtectMyID from Experian, which given the magnitude of the potential problem, seems to be woefully inadequate at just one year of coverage.

Even though we still don’t know much about what happened, the State Newspaper has a good  article summarizing what we know and don’t know about the cyber hacking as well as a list of questions we still need answered.  The article can be found by clicking here to go their website.
