(The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says there may have been a data breach)....An investigation is underway.

The CDCR says the breach could involve medical information on people who tested positive for COVID 19 in the Department from June 2020 thru January 2022, including staff, visitors and others. It did not include COVID testing information for the incarcerated population. The potential breach was discovered this year following routine maintenance on one of their information systems. They say the breach also potentially included other medical information for a portion of the incarcerated population going back as far as 2008, as well as some financial information.. CDCR says they have suspended all of the affected systems.
