Florida's Department of Health is reaching out to people affected by a June 26 cyberattack that exposed a wide range of sensitive personal data. We're talking names, Social Security numbers, banking details, medical history, medication and prescription information, military identification numbers, Nexus numbers, passwords, passport numbers — the works. The department has started mailing letters to those impacted with specifics on what was accessed.

To help, they've partnered with Kroll, an identity-monitoring firm, to provide free credit monitoring services. Law enforcement and cybersecurity experts are actively investigating. If you're a Florida Health Department client and haven't received a letter yet, it's worth keeping a close eye on your accounts.
