A lawsuit over the cyber attack was filed against the SC governor and the SC Dept. of Revenue by a former state legislator.
Former state Sen. John Hawkins, a Spartanburg attorney, claimed that state law was broken when the SC authorities took too long to notify the public about the data breach.
The attorney is calling the data breach “a Category Five cyber hurricane.” The breach was discovered on Oct. 10th. By then, the hackers could have already made use of the compromised data.
When it comes to breaches that affect the public, they should have been told about it within 24-48 hours.
