Data from the state’s COVID-19 online contact tracing survey was improperly accessed, the Indiana Department of Health said Tuesday.
The data included the name, address, email, gender, ethnicity and race, and birthday of nearly 750,000 Hoosiers, according to IDOH.
The state learned of the incident on July 2. Last week, the state and the company that accessed the data signed a “certificate of destruction” to confirm that the data was not released and was destroyed.
When the state learned of the incident, the Indiana Office of Technology and IDOH corrected a software configuration issue and requested the records that had been accessed. Those records were returned on Aug. 4.
