🇺🇸 Personal information of more than a quarter-million licensed professionals may have been exposed in a breach of a Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) database. The agency said it temporarily shut down its online licensing system, known as POLARIS. The POLARIS system stores information about its license holders and applicants. The type of information varies for different licenses and may include social security numbers, dates of birth, driver license numbers, and other personally identifying information. #usa #databreach #cyber #threats #informatique
