On December 2, 2008 the Department of Central Management Services, the
Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and Office of
Inspector General confirmed a breach of security on a server containing
personally identifiable information of certain providers excluded and
individuals barred from providing services under the Medicaid program.
The incident was immediately referred to appropriate law enforcement
authorities who are continuing their investigation. Steps have been
taken to ensure that the personal information can no longer be accessed,
and other similar systems are being thoroughly checked for breaches of
security.

Affected individuals are being notified and should call their local
police or sheriff's office if they notice suspicious activity on credit
reports. They can also file online complaints with the Illinois State
Police Internet Crimes Unit at: http://www.isp.state.il.us/icu.
