The Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Rhode Island has disclosed a data breach impacting the personal information of roughly 2,000 inmates, staff, and vendors.

According to the correctional facility, the incident occurred in November, and involved malware being deployed on its computer systems, as well as data theft.

The investigation into the matter revealed that the attackers compromised the personal information of more than 1,450 detainees, over 430 current and former staff members, and roughly 90 outside vendors.

“At this time, we believe that various types of data were taken from the Facility’s systems and posted on the dark web, including certain financial information, certain detainees’ medical information, certain current and former staff information, and certain vendor information,” the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility notes in an incident notification on its website.

Some of the compromised information includes names, addresses, home and cellphone numbers, dates of birth, hire dates, job titles, and Social Security numbers.
