A data breach in New York City's affordable housing lottery program exposed personal information for about 38,000 applicants, including names, incomes, phone numbers, and in some cases Social Security numbers. The breach occurred between May and July when applications became publicly searchable online due to a "system misconfiguration" by Reside New York, a company that reviews applications for the city. City Council Housing Committee Chair Pierina Sanchez demanded answers after CBS News New York uncovered the breach. Reside CEO Martin Joseph blamed a third-party company called LogicFold for the mistake and says the portal was fixed immediately after being notified. No identity theft or fraud has been reported so far. The city assures applicants that Housing Connect remains safe, and affected individuals are being offered credit monitoring services. **Source:** [CBS News New York](https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/nyc-housing-lottery-data-breach/)
